I've been using rdiff-backup: http://www.nongnu.org/rdiff-backup/. Previously I was using rsync to do incremental backups, see http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/. I'm not familiar with rsnapshot and Backuppc, but compared with rsync backups rdiff-backup deals more efficiently with large files with small changes between snapshots, see http://www.nongnu.org/rdiff-backup/features.html -- Mark Polhamus > Cheers! > Ty _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
