Interesting. I've been using rsnapshot for a while for a similar purpose, although its de-duplication is limited to keeping unmodified files as hard links.
It'd be nice to see a brief comparison of ddar, rsnapshot, and other things that might fit that role.
- pqs 16y agordiff-backup also.
- rlpb 16y agoI attempted a comparison with rdiff-backup here: http://www.synctus.com/ddar/rdiff-backup.html http://www.synctus.com/ddar/rdiff-backup.html Some others are briefly mentioned under "Alternatives", including a comparison with Tarsnap. I only have direct experience of Tarsnap and duplicity. Additions/corrections welcome.
- wladimir 16y agoI use duplicity for incremental encrypted off-site backups. Would be interesting to see how it compares to the others. As I store the backups on a shared machine, the most important feature for me is that the backupped data never passes through the target machine in unencrypted form, at any stage.
- donio 16y agoddar seems more similar to bup. A comparison between those two would be awesome. I see that ddar supports removing old archives which bup doesn't yet. bup on the other hand already has a fuse filesystem which is on the todo list for ddar.
