Questions about rdiff-backup
Hi!
I was reading this SOP:
https://fedora-infra-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/sysadmin-guide/sops/rd...
Hope you don't mind if I ask a few questions about it:
1) Why rdiff-backup? There are other alternatives present both in the
Fedora *and* CentOS/RHEL default repos like Amanda or Bacula, and lots
more if you add the EPEL repo (rsnapshot, BackupPC, Borg...)
2) The current setup uses a few tools: cron, git, ansible and
rdiff-backup. Wouldn't be simpler to use a tool that just takes care of
everything by itself?
I'm not questioning this choice, I'm just curious about this tool. I
never used it, so I'm trying to follow the reasoning of it being used to
backup the whole infrastructure.
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Manu
