rdiff-backup is rsync plus retention of old snapshots. (So you can restore a file as it was X days ago, which can be nice.) The thing I love about it is that your backup 'repository' is an actual directory of files instead of some weird binary blob. If you just want the most recent version of a file, all you need is 'cp'. This is way way faster than other incremental backup systems where you'd have to restore the last full backup and then apply all the ensuing incrementals in order. http://www.nongnu.org/rdiff-backup/ --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - [email protected] To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
