I'm setting up a backup regime (database dump and file structure) from a server in the states. rsync seems a sensible tool, and I have a little experience with it. I've just come across rdiff-backup. It sounds useful, but I'd like to hear some war stories from folks who have used it before I go wandering into unknown territory.
Anyone care to comment on rdiff-backup's ease of use (backing up *and* recovery), robustness, and the like? Thanks, Roy.
