Hi Patrik,
Why are you using rdiff-backup ?
There were 4 strong reasons for our choice:
Platform agnostic (use on Windows & *nix)
Runs via SSH so minimal security/admin overhead
Instant access to a mirror copy of the origin for our most common need
Ability to easily add monitoring via bash scripts etc
How does it compare to other backup software ?
Prefer the powerful simplicity of Rdiff-backup compared to bloated
commercial equivalents we've looked at.
Google drive as a destination is one additional, useful, feature Duplicity
offers.
Keep up the good work, Eric especially. It is appreciated.
Hope this helps
John

Hello,
While I'm not the most active developper, I'm spending quite a lot of time
writing articles and other material to attract more people into
rdiff-backup and rdiffweb. I'm a strong user of rdiff-backup and I clearly
don't need to be convinced to use rdiff-backup. But I would like to hear
what our users have to say on the subject.
