Backup tools performance test
Script used for testing the performance and system resources usage of five remote incremental backup tools: Rsync, Rdiff-backup, Duplicity, Areca and Link-Backup.
The tests are performed in three distinct remote backup operations: full backup, incremental backup and data restoration. Additionally they are performed with three configurations: without compression and encryption, only with compression and with both activated.
This script was produced as part of the paper "Open Source Tools for Remote Incremental Backups on Linux: An Experimental Evaluation" available here: https://www.cisuc.uc.pt/download-file/13816/eGlo1DRblRnbkKPT5zPp
Usage

$ ./backup_tools_test.sh N # Execute only a specific test
Requirements
Client: ssh, dstat, rsync, rdiff-backup, duplicity, areca and link-backup Server: sshd
