rdiff-backup - Convenient and transparent local/remote incremental mirror/backup
- Description:
rdiff-backup is a script, written in Python, that backs up one directory
to another and is intended to be run periodically (nightly from cron for
instance). The target directory ends up a copy of the source directory,
but extra reverse diffs are stored in the 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 can also 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 from the previous backup will be transmitted.
