Chris G. Subject: rdiff-backup |
Sean, thanks for your replies. Well, I have basically 2 other problems with rdiff-backup (besides the ones you already noted); it doesn't compress and it can't currently back up ACLs and EAs. And on several setups we need to use them. OTOH I'm somewhat more familiar with tools that create monolithic archives + increments (yes, they're more vulnerable to disk errors), like dar which I started experimenting with lately. And, if possible I'm for a free, open source solution. Anyway, your insight and experience discussed here shed some more light to some other aspects too, thanks again.
