HowItWorks - flyback - Google Code - How FlyBack works.: "Introduction

FlyBack is a snapshot-based backup tool based on rsync It creates successive backup directories mirroring the files you wish to backup, but hard-links unchanged files to the previous backup. This prevents wasting disk space while providing you with full access to all your files without any sort of recovery program. If your machine crashes, just move your external drive to your new machine and copy the latest backup using whatever file browser you normally use.

Note that this means you can selectively delete specific backups and still retain files stored in previous ones. (ie., you can delete tuesday's backup and keep monday's, without screwing up wednesday's)"

--> Teste ich gerade mit einer neuen externen Festplatte (das ständige tauschen von DVDs war mir langsam zu anstrengen). Scheint zu laufen...

Bisher hatte ich auch mit rsync Backups gemacht und gute Erfahrungen gemacht. Flyback nutz ja nun auch rsync und ist dann noch in Python programmiert... Werde mir mal die Quellen anschauen (natürlich mit Leo -> Homepage).
