- rdiff-backup backs up one directory to another, possibly over a network.
- The target directory ends up a copy of the source directory, but extra
- reverse diffs are stored in a special subdirectory of that target
- directory, so you can still recover files lost some time ago. The idea
- is to combine the best features of a mirror and an incremental backup.
- rdiff-backup also preserves subdirectories, hard links, dev files,
- permissions, uid/gid ownership, modification times, extended attributes,
- acls, and resource forks. Also, rdiff-backup can operate in a bandwidth
- efficient manner over a pipe, like rsync. Thus you can use rdiff-backup
- and ssh to securely back a hard drive up to a remote location, and only
- the differences will be transmitted. Finally, rdiff-backup is easy to
- use and settings have sensical defaults.
