Use a shell script for incremental backups
One warning about rdiff-backup. I tried it this week and was a little concerned with the fact that all the files that are backed up have their names changed. This is the mechanism that rdiff-backup uses to indicate the date/version of the file in backup. While that is probably fine - it means you can't just open up a backup and drag a file off, unless you want to go about renaming the files to their original names. I can only assume that rdiff-backup would actually rename the files for you back to their original names if you went through the actual rdiff-backup process of restoring.

Thanks for the warning. I didn't see that mentioned in the recent Install rdiff-backup for incremental backups hint maybe you want to post your comment there, too?

Are you sure? I use rdiff-backup and regularly pull individual files back by simply copying them from the backup folder to my harddrive. |
