Hi Dale, |

what you are talking about is not a real backup but a single copy of |
| 9 |
your data that may or may not be complete (the delete option you |
| 10 |
mention) at a single point in time - not quite as useful as a proper |
| 11 |
versioned backup. Whatever your choice, also look at the restore |
| 12 |
procedure - very important. |

Have a look at Dirvish or borgbackup (both in portage) for what they can |
| 16 |
do. Having a space efficient store at regular points of time is a |
| 17 |
lifesaver at times. To restore from dirvish its a copy from the selected |
| 18 |
tree. With borg its either restore with a command, or mount it and copy |
| 19 |
the data out of the mount. |

I moved from dirvish to borg 12 months ago and they are both excellent. |
