<p class="intro">Like rsync, rdiff-backup is a tool used for incremental backups. Unlike rsync however, rdiff keeps the most-recent file change, along with any previous changes, deletions, etc.</p>
|
|
<h2>Install</h2>
|
|
<pre><code>sudo apt install rdiff-backup</code></pre>
|
|
<h2>Backup</h2>
|
|
<pre><code>rdiff-backup $dir $backup</code></pre>
|
|
<h2>Restore</h2>
|
|
<pre><code>rdiff-backup -r 2D $backup $restore_dir</code></pre>
|
|
<h2>Advanced</h2>
|
|
<h3>Only keep backups for a certain time period</h3>
|
|
<pre><code>rdiff-backup --force --remove-older-than 2M $backup</code></pre>
|
|
<p>This will remove all backups older than 2 months from $backup.</p>
