Have you looked into rsync?
Rsync is more for a general file back up system. It works slightly like git where it saves incremental updates of your computer instead of a full file system snap shot every back up.
- pavel_lishin 12y agoRsync is great for transferring files, but not so great for intelligently figuring out what was actually deleted, what was updated, etc. As an example, if I only download a portion of my photos, and then try to save the changes with rsync using the --delete option (because, hey, if I delete old_resume.doc from $HERE, why should it stick around $THERE?) - whoops, all the OTHER photos are now gone, too. Plus, I'd have to run it by hand. Plus, while I'd run it to sync $WORK_LAPTOP with $SOME_SERVER, that doesn't automatically propagate it to $SOME_OTHER_SERVER, or $HOME_DESKTOP, etc.
