About
rsnapgraph is a utility that will analyze the snapshot backups created by rsnapshot (http://www.rsnapshot.org), and produce two graphs showing file and disk space changes over time.

• The rsnapshot-files.png graph shows the number of files created and deleted between each snapshot, as well as a running graph showing the total number of files in each snapshot. Example

• The rsnapshot-size graph shows the amount of disk space being freed or used by each snapshot, as well as a running graph showing the total amount of disk space used by each snapshot. Example

It's useful to know whether the snapshots are very volatile, and if so, which directories are changing. If disk space is tight, then this can help identify directories within each snapshot which can be removed from the snapshot to save space. Plus the graphs are pretty.
