Thanks for this & the other suggestions. |

I had a look at Rsnapshot, but your docs make its usefulness clearer, |
| 16 |
esp the "simple scheme". Dirvish hasn't been updated since 2007 ; |
| 17 |
someone appears to have mentioned Dar, but I didn't receive the msg ; |
| 18 |
Backuppc + Rdiff-backup look possible ; |
| 19 |
there's also Kbackup & many others under the app-backup dir. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
A "simple scheme" of incrementally backing-up my home dir daily, |
| 22 |
home dir + /etc + others weekly & the whole system monthly is my need; |
| 23 |
uploading the increments off-site wb useful too, if not too large. |
| 24 |
At present, I follow a less intensive version of this scheme, |
| 25 |
but have to do the various jobs by hand. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
The machine is running c 16 hr/day , so I have to ensure |
| 28 |
that cron jobs wb run at times when it's awake, |
| 29 |
which is not predictable on any given day. |
| 30 |
IIRC that used to require Anacron, but that's not installed now. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Further comments are welcome. HTH others. |
