Ha. That's a throwback. I did the same thing, but with a more detailed writeup, in 2009: https://nuxx.net/blog/2009/12/06/time-machine-for-freebsd/ https://nux

It was really handy, but I now use borg as it just works better.
- human_llm 8mo agoHA! It read your post I read back then and I have been using it ever since. So thank you. I guess I need to check out borg ;)
- c0nsumer 8mo agoSmall world! You're welcome. Yeah, give borg a look. It's just faster to back up, faster to delete old backups, and just easier to do restores because so long as you have the appropriate credentials you can list the archive from any machine. I think there's still a place/use for --link-dst and hardlinks, but as a backup system I think borg does it better.
