However, SafeKeep uses rdiff-backup under the covers, it is just we have spent a lot of time trying to optimise the options that we pass to rdiff-backup. I guess I can scratch that off my todo list, then. I find it astounding that anyone would build a new tool around a product that has been unsupported for over 7 years now. Mostly because the alternative to rdiff-backup are worst. Even if rdiff-backup has some bugs, is old and stagnant, it's more robust then many other backup tool for Linux. We did our homework here and rdiff-backup was the best tool for our needs.
Those are exactly the reasons that I continue to use it, despite its faults. -- Bob Nichols "NOSPAM" is really part of my email address.
