That's not a backup, it's a mirror.
- awqrre 11y agoa mirror is kind of a backup if you don't update it live... but of course you should have other backups that are offline.
- jasonjei 11y agoAre you suggesting that you can't backup with rsync? Because you can do full and incremental backups with rsync. In fact Time Machine on OS X looks like it does backups in this manner...
- cyphar 11y agoJust using rsync to make copies isn't a backup. If you use rsnapshot (which stores each copy separately) then you have a backup. Copies are not sufficient if you find out that something broke three weeks ago.
