Hi list!
I'm in need of a backup tool and an advice would be helpful because I
need some special functionality.
I want to make backups from my laptop to a cardreader (pcmcia), making
daily full and hourly incremental backups *if the card is plugged in*
(which might not be the case for as long as two days).
Additionally I need some kind of encryption. The key could reside on my
home partition which is encrypted itself and maybe pam-mount + luks is a
solution but I'd like to hear some opinions on that topic.
If no one comes up with a better solution, I think two cronjobs with
tar, gpg and find will do it, don't you think? The alternative would be
rdiff-backup with some kind of encrypted and possibly compressed file
system.
I do pretty much the same on my laptop. I use good ol' tar and pipe it
through GPG. I don't do incrementals though, so that might be more a
pain, then again maybe not if your index file is left plaintext.

Could I see that script? How do you invoke it, anacron/fcron?
