Summary: A program to generate test data for testing backup software
Description:
genbackupdata creates or modifies directory trees in ways that simulate real filesystems sufficiently well for performance testing of backup software. For example, it can create files that are a mix of small text files and big binary files, with the binary files containing random binary junk which compresses badly. This can then be backed up, and later the directory tree can be changed by creating new files, modifying files, or deleting or renaming files. The backup can then be run again. The output is deterministic, such that for a given set of parameters the same output always happens. Thus it is more efficient to distribute genbackupdata and a set of parameters between people who wish to benchmark backup software than distributing very large test sets.
