I use rdiff also. It is an rsync mirroring system

#45I keep any sort of file I really care about in a personal svn repository. Mostly this is either code, PDF's, Word Docs, Excel, text files, and so on - Not too much video or anything like that.
I then use DatedBackup (http://datedbackup.rubyforge.org/), to backup the repos, and a few servers, which is basically a wrapper around rsync. It more or less mimicks the functionality of a simplified time machine without the gui - keeping snapshots at certain intervals, and deleting them when the drive gets full. It uses a technique similar to rsnapshot, so extra space doesn't get wasted by every snapshot.

#48Thanks guy for your comments. Helpful and interesting.
I found a piece about backup, that is a must read: http://www.jwz.org/doc/backups.html
I especially like this one: "" Put one of these drives in its enclosure on your desk. Name it something clever like "Backup". If you are using a Mac, the command you use to back up is this:
sudo rsync -vaxE --delete --ignore-errors / /Volumes/Backup/
If you're using Linux, it's something a lot like that. If you're using Windows, go fuck yourself. ""
Maybe this is a good end for this thread ;o)
