http://www.dirvish.org/ http://www.dirvish.org/ and http://rsnapshot.org/ http://rsnapshot.org/ are both wrappers around rsync that do exactly this. Eventually, though, I switched to http://duplicity.nongnu.org/ http://duplicity.nongnu.org/ for the network backends and the encryption.
- weaksauce 16y agoHow do you like duplicity? That looks like a good solution for my work backups.
- andrewcooke 16y agosome of the comments about rdiff-backup (below) might also apply to duplicity, since it seems to share much of the same internals (duplicity seems to be the encrypted version of rdiff-backup).
- znull 16y agoI haven't pushed it very hard. I'm only using it for personal stuff. That said, it's pretty good at DWIM for a command-line tool. It works as advertised and doesn't require any fiddling once you have it set up. cons: command line syntax is verbose. Enough so that there's a wrapper for it (http://duply.net/ http://duply.net/) which I also recommend. Access to backups isn't as straightforward as with forest-of-hardlinks approaches. I'd be interested to hear how it holds up to production use.
