  • I will really go take a look on it XD,
    U Said it,

    I mean, I’m sure that, given enough effort, you can set up some job using a shell script that uses rsync internally and generates incremental backups, the same way rdiff-backup does, but then you’re basically heading down the path of reimplementing rdiff-backup.

    Then u can just use gpg on your rsync backups ? Like u said it to me, ur solution is the best.

    Personally, I’m not in IT to feed me, I just use rsync+tar, depending the context. Regex it can be cool but hey tools exists.

    And ty then ^^"




  • for snapshot depending your filesystem, the function included/built-in, to manage it, can be better.

    I agree with dan’s comment,
    Use rsync first to sync your home, or wallpapers,
    You will figure out, how it work, with the good options,

    And then you will do an script or crontab for you personnally, depending what you want to save, how, and how many times.

    Rsync, can restore files, delete files. Basycally its an file manager XD
    Like for /etc/ you maybe want to replace file and do an copy of it before if they have the same name. But not for your picture’s folder.

    Learn, and read doc of rsync, use it, on low importance files, and you will manage regarding your needs :).

    OFC you can ask for specific help,
    I just dont want to tell you how to do something if im not sure its good regardings your needs.

    Edit : Check “tar” too maybe,


  • maybe i will say an big mistake, But if you use “date” within an bash’s script, you can do multiples backups, and remove the ones who are too old.

    For example,
    u can do an first archive,
    and then,
    bash scrpt doing, an copy of the first archive, then increment the copy with rsync.

    and in the time, let say 2month,
    ur bash script can delete file olders than one month.
    Just for example, u can do that on an year.
