Hi,
2008/5/7 Chris G cl@isbd.net:
Unless you delete old stuff it keeps a history back to when you started using it and you can restore anything from any time. Obviously it does eventually run out of space but it's pretty efficient. Currently my backup of my home directory is 30.7Gb and my home directory is 30.5Gb (the bulk is a Digikam photo album so that explains a bit).
Makes me wonder how suitable cvs/svn/git would be for a backup solution across machines. There was an article somewhere in one of the Linux Format issues, detailing how to setup subversion do just that. And I do like how git is decentralised and seems to pack the diffs as well.
Has anyone done anything like this as a backup before?
