Backup Update
My backups with rsyncbackup worked like a treat. I decided to just let it do it’s thing and rsync the initial backup rather the try to save time and copy the data myself. It went very smoothly except for two minor glitches:
- It helps to point at the correct directory
- It helps if you have permissions to read the files you want to backup
Once those problems were fixed it just worked. Incremental backups now take less than a minute. The only tricky bit is automating it. Normally I’d just setup a cron job but my laptop spends most of its time in hibernation, so for the time being I’ll just do it manually.
