i've read about it, my problem is to make an incremental backup script that
works :D
btw, script for initiating backup? here is an untested simple script
to be called from cron.
---
#!/bin/bash
# dest
D=/dev/sdaX
M=/media/usbdisk
# source
B=/home
# go backup
mount ${D} ${M}
rdiff-backup ${B} ${M}
echo "`date`: backup of ${B} to ${M} done" >>/tmp/backup.log
umount ${D}

there are docs/examples[1] at the website. also, it's incremental
backup not limited to 7days rotation. all snapshots are stored in a
directory with logs (for version history).
