Rui CarmoThis is a kind of meta-page for bunching together all the disparate stuff regarding backups I have on the site and a few other generic resources.
| Date | Link | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Nov 22 | rdiff-backup | I’ve tried this before with mixed results, and ended up using duplicity instead. |
| rsnapshot | Added here for completeness (I’ve used it occasionally when I needed just a little more than mere rsync) | |
| Nov 11 | iPhone Backup Extractor | For getting data out of iTunes backup files |
| Apr‘07 | Backup Procedures | My crib-sheet for using ssync and rsync |
| Mar‘07 | IMAP Backup Script | My IMAP backup solution before Leopard’s Mail.app made it easier to export entire mailbox trees. |
| Aug‘06 | Time Machine | The new hotness, which took a while to become trustworthy. |
| Oct‘06 | Backup.app | The .Mac utility that predated Time Machine. |
| Aug‘05 | duplicity | One of the things I keep going back to from time to time when I need secure off-site backups of sensitive data. |
| Mar‘05 | unison | An amazingly efficient file replication tool that has seen better days. |
