Summary : Convenient and transparent local/remote incremental mirror/backup

License : GPL-2.0-or-later
Description : rdiff-backup is a script, written in Python, that backs up one
: directory to another and is intended to be run periodically (nightly
: from cron for instance). The target directory ends up a copy of the
: source directory, but extra reverse diffs are stored in the target
: directory, so you can still recover files lost some time ago. The idea
: is to combine the best features of a mirror and an incremental
: backup. rdiff-backup can also operate in a bandwidth efficient manner
: over a pipe, like rsync. Thus you can use rdiff-backup and ssh to
: securely back a hard drive up to a remote location, and only the
: differences from the previous backup will be transmitted.
