I’m trying to find a good method of making periodic, incremental backups. I assume that the most minimal approach would be to have a Cronjob run rsync periodically, but I’m curious what other solutions may exist.
I’m interested in both command-line, and GUI solutions.
I use Back In Time to backup my important data on an external drive. And for snapshots I use timeshift.
Isn’t timeshift have same purpose, or it’s just matter of preference?
Yes, it is the same purpose, kinda. But timeshift runs as a cron and allows for an easy rollback, while I use BIT for manual backups.
