Hi,
Does rdiff-backup plan to support backup rotation? Perhaps
grandfather-father-son or even towers of hanoi backup rotation?
The reason I ask is that my current backup scripts (home grown
python) use a g-f-s scheme, and recently I had to take advantage of
this to restore from last April's monthly backup. Before moving
across to rdiff-backup permanently I'd like to get an equivalent to
this feature.
The way I'd see it working is to define n subdirectories within the
nominated backup directory (each a logical tape, if you will). From
this, rdiff-backup would determine which subdirectory directory to
backup to, based on the nominated backup schedule. In addition, it
could create a symlink so that the current backup could be maintained
to keep the "current snapshot" nature of rdiff-backup.
I don't know if this has been thought about, comments appreciated.
