Re: [rdiff-backup-users] Resuming failed backups

[Marcel (Felix) Giannelia]

I do pretty much the same thing as Greg, except that my connection 
between the server room (work) and the remote site (my place) is via 
encrypted sneakernet :)

(I move backups both ways -- my house off-sites to work, and work 
off-sites to my house, so there's quite a bit of data and I don't relish 
the traffic charges).

I use rdiff-backup on the server's local drives to provide quick 
restores for the usual "help; I deleted an important e-mail from 
yesterday and I emptied the trash!" requests from users, but I actually 
use dar for the external hard drive because [as per my earlier posting] 
it's currently faster to create separate incremental backups into 
compressed files than it is to roll up all the files related to one 
rdiff-backup increment.
