I use a slightly modified version of the script here to have a 7-day versioned backup of important files. https://lika.be/wp/2011/06/incremental-backup-script-with-daily-delta/ You can find it in various other sites, original credit seems to be tri...@linuxcare.com I've tried duplicity and one or two other more sophisticated backup tools. I like this because it uses only one very standard utility, rsync, and I find it easy to reason about and (importantly) easy to restore from. Allan
