Apple's Time Machine and Linux can interact but it involves using networking sophisticated ways, iSCSI and SAN and all that... I mentioned Apple and TM only because it showed that incremental backs with space constraints could be made easy to understand for casual computer users.
The idea seems to have caught on. There are many backup systems that do what TM does and as you found one that even tries to re-create the user interface. One simple way to use TM with Linux is to keep your files on the Mac but export them via NFS to Linux. This way the host Max OS system does the backup. Setting this up is not hard Mac OS is exactly like Linux is the way NFS is configured, same files in /etc. On Wed, Jan 16, 2019 at 2:39 AM andy pugh <bodge...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Tue, 15 Jan 2019 at 23:43, Gene Heskett <ghesk...@shentel.net> wrote: > > > But no one has mentioned the name of something that will backup only the > > changes, that can be started in the background to accomplish this > > instant incremental backup while one is working on a project. > > Well, there was a mention of the Apple / OSX system earlier, though > that is no real help for a linux User. > > Apple "Time machine" is pretty slick though, direct from the file > manager interface you can scroll andy document, folder or drive > backwards in time to any point you choose. > > https://youtu.be/ZLhvEfiOADk?t=97 > > Google suggests "Cronopete" as a Linux alternative, but I know > _nothing_ about it. > > -- > atp > "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is > designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and > lunatics." > — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1916 > > > _______________________________________________ > Emc-users mailing list > Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users > -- Chris Albertson Redondo Beach, California _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
