Gang, I've put together a quick HowTo for installing rdiff-backup <http://rdiff-backup.stanford.edu/examples.html> on SME 5.X. It should work on 6.0 as well, but I don't have a test box handy right now so I can't confirm that. Can anyone else?
What is rdiff-backup? From the website... "rdiff-backup backs up one directory to another, possibly over a network. The target directory ends up a copy of the source directory, but extra reverse diffs are stored in a special subdirectory of that target directory, so you can still recover files lost some time ago. The idea is to combine the best features of a mirror and an incremental backup. rdiff-backup also preserves subdirectories, hard links, dev files, permissions, uid/gid ownership, and modification times. Also, rdiff-backup can operate in a bandwidth efficient manner over a pipe, like rsync. Thus you can use rdiff-backup and ssh to securely back a hard drive up to a remote location, and only the differences will be transmitted. Finally, rdiff-backup is easy to use and settings have sensical defaults." Note: There is a web interface for rdiff-backup in the works and listed on the site, but I have not tried that at all. It looks like it is in it's infancy.
