Description-en: rsync-based backup utility
Backups are stored as complete filesystem trees on a (perhaps
external) hard disk. Multiple backups use hard links between
identical files to save space.
.
Backups may be taken from multiple machines (over SSH) and stored to
multiple disks.
.
Backups may be made automatically, i.e. without relying on the
operator to remember to make a backup.
