Update sysutils/rdiff-backup-devel from 1.1.4 to 1.1.5: * escape from rdiff-backup's mastering - being a slave to rdiff-backup becomes too hard to maintain with respect to changes in 1.1.5 * Makefile: mandatory variables imported from ../rdiff-backup/Makefile * Makefile: add new entry to MAN1 * Makefile: slightly alter post-install target to make it install all man pages listed in MAN1 * add files/patch-setup.py which is now different from the one located in ../rdiff-backup/files/ * add own pkg-descr * sync pkg-plist PR: ports/91301 Submitted by: Vasil Dimov <vd@datamax.bg>

rdiff-backup backs up one directory to another, possibly over a network. The
|
|
target directory ends up a copy of the source directory, but extra reverse
|
|
diffs are stored in a special subdirectory of that target directory, so you
|
|
can still recover files lost some time ago. The idea is to combine the best
|
|
features of a mirror and an incremental backup. rdiff-backup also preserves
|
|
subdirectories, hard links, dev files, permissions, uid/gid ownership (if it
|
|
is running as root), and modification times. Finally, rdiff-backup can operate
|
|
in a bandwidth efficient manner over a pipe, like rsync. Thus you can use
|
|
rdiff-backup and ssh to securely back a hard drive up to a remote location,
|
|
and only the differences will be transmitted.
|
|
|
|
This is the development version of rdiff-backup.
