Backup with rsync

Read Original

The article details setting up a simple incremental backup system using rsync's --link-dest option to create hard links for unchanged files, saving space. It explores the problem of using this method with an external drive formatted for Windows (VFAT, which doesn't support links) and considers solutions like partitioning the drive with ext3.
