I use rdiff-backup, which is ideal for backing up automatically to a |
| 7 |
hard drive. I run it from cron, hourly on critical directories, daily on |
| 8 |
the rest. I then have a weekly cron script that compresses the backup |
| 9 |
directories with squashfs and writes them to ISO images ready for writing |
| 10 |
to bootable DVDs. It makes restoring individual files very easy, and a |
| 11 |
completely hosed system can be fixed because the DVDs are bootable. |
