I would generally argue that rsync is not a backup solution.
Yeah, if you want to use rsync, you’re probably better-off using something like rdiff-backup
, which makes use of rsync to generate backups and store them efficiently.
rsync
: one-way synchronization
unison
: bidirectional synchronization
git
: synchronization of text files with good interactive merging.
rdiff-backup
: rsync
-based backups. I used to use this and moved to restic
, as the backupninja
target for rdiff-backup
has kind of fallen into disrepair.
