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
