I just started playing with rdiff-backup. If you are familiar with |
| 11 |
rsnapshot maybe you'll know if rdiff-backup is better in some way. |

I've been using rsnapshot for quite a while but haven't had to do a |
| 14 |
serious restore (knock on wood). |

|

The small scale restores I've needed seemed to be something of a pita. |

I guess you have to search the rsnapshot created hardlinks for the |
| 19 |
version you want manually. At least that is what I ended up doing. |

There may be better ways but rsnapshot doesn't supply any help in that |
| 22 |
regard far as I know. Other than the biggest part of having created |
| 23 |
the file you need that is. |
