rdiff-backup backs up one directory to another, possibly over a
|
|
network. The target directory ends up a copy of the source directory,
|
|
but extra reverse diffs are stored in a special subdirectory of that
|
|
target directory, so you can still recover files lost some time
|
|
ago. The idea is to combine the best features of a mirror and an
|
|
incremental backup. rdiff-backup also preserves subdirectories, hard
|
|
links, dev files, permissions, uid/gid ownership, modification times,
|
|
extended attributes, acls, and resource forks. Also, rdiff-backup
|
|
can operate in a bandwidth efficient manner over a pipe, like
|
|
rsync. Thus you can use rdiff-backup and ssh to securely back a
|
|
hard drive up to a remote location, and only the differences will
|
|
be transmitted. Finally, rdiff-backup is easy to use and settings
|
|
have sensical defaults.
