« Release: EMC 2.2.4 | Newest entries | mailpie 0.1: full-text search of large e-mail archives »

With $100 terabyte hard disks but without inexpensive backup media and drives, it is often necessary to mark parts of a filesystem 'nodump' to get useful backups on a reasonable number of pieces of media.

turd is a program I cooked up to help with this: it is like the standard du utility, except that it consults the filesystem nodump flag. This means the output of turd approximates the amount of tape space required to dump the named directory. Like du -x, turd never recurses into a different filesystem.

turd is released under the terms of the GNU General Public License, version 2 or later.

There is now a git repository for turd: http://git.unpy.net/view/turd.git/
