Hi a and the rest of the mailing list, At home I have a freenas device I store all my media, when I need something I just access the file server. But that's how I do it, and it's not ideal, but I tend to be lazy with my setup at home. To directly answer the question, I believe rsnapshot is not receiving support currently. https://github.com/rsnapshot/rsnapshot/issues/191 I think the go to application for file based incremental backup for user-created files is Back In Time. https://github.com/bit-team/backintime For Ubuntu you can install the PPA: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bit-team/stable sudo apt update sudo apt install backintime-qt4 Here is the documentation: https://backintime.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ I'd be interested in hearing feedback from others if Back In Time isn't a good program. I have had very limited experience with it. Regards, Jared On 5/28/19 4:08 PM, a wrote:
