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 (if it
|
|
is running as root), and modification times. Finally, 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.
|
|
|
|
This port tracks the "old" development branch 1.1. It will be upgraded
|
|
to the latest development version once it is released.
