Hi
I am planning a "holistic" backup system for a mixed windows/linux
network. The system should provide for both disaster recovery and
accidental deletion protection.
It appears to me that both rdiff-backup and rsnapshot would do a good
job for me. Could anyone provide their thoughts on the relative
strengths and weaknesses of the two tools.
I have posted a similar request on the rsnapshot list - and have had
some response suggesting that rdiff-backup will need less storage - but
may be slower with a lot of changing data. Also - that recovering
specific files at specific ages may be easier with rsnapshot.
Looking at the rdiff-backup documentation - it appears to me that
rdiff-backup stores the change data indefinitely. If this is so - and
there is no way to "delete" old data - I assume the historical change
data will grow indefinitely. Is this the case - or have I missed something?
I would value the opinions of users of this group also.
Regards
Richard.
