Convenient and transparent local/remote incremental mirror/backup
rdiff-backup backs up one directory to another, possibly over a
network. The target directory ends up a copy of the source directory,
but extra reverse diffs are stored in a special subdirectory of that
target directory, so you can still recover files lost some time ago.
The idea is to combine the best features of a mirror and an incremental
backup. rdiff-backup also preserves subdirectories, hard links, dev
files, permissions, uid/gid ownership, and modification times. Also,
rdiff-backup can operate in a bandwidth efficient manner over a pipe,
like rsync. Thus you can use rdiff-backup and ssh to securely back a
hard drive up to a remote location, and only the differences will be
transmitted. Finally, rdiff-backup is easy to use and settings have
sensical defaults.

Revision 34 (latest revision is 43)
- Happy Holidays release v2.2.0 - Despite all these changes, rdiff-backup 2.2 remains compatible with rdiff-backup 2.0, but you can, and are encouraged to, use the new API using --api-version 201, enabling two additional features: * there is at last a --help parameter * the CLI (Command Line Interface) has been refurbished and modernized (the old one is still present but deprecated) * You can store your parameters in a file, one per line, and call rdiff-backup @myfile to use them * Verbosity levels and error codes have been standardized for clearer interaction with the tool * Last backup can be regressed even if it isn't failed * Locking of repositories has been greatly improved
