Hi, To do incremental backups I am presently using --backup-dir=/backup/host/$TODAY and the full backup is written to /backup/host/current. With this system incremental directories only contain deleted files and "current" contains the full backup.
Would it be more efficient to use --link-dest=/backup/host/$YESTERDAY and write the main backup to /backup/host/$TODAY ? That way each day incremental would contain the full daily snapshot, wouldn't it? What is the current "best practice" standard for incremental backups?
