Thanks Crystal,
I'm trying to use "rdiff-backup" saying to it please take my data on the remote location via ssh and backup it on my local destination. Preamble from the man: rdiff-backup requires that the remote system accept ssh connections, and that rdiff-backup is installed in the user's PATH on the remote system. For information on other options, see the section on REMOTE OPERATION Preamble from the web doc: https://rdiff-backup.net/examples.html I get that what I need to do is possible by this command: rdiff-backup r...@microsoft.com::/home/bill/trojan/ /home/bill-backup Established this the problem I got is a mismatch between software versions, locally on 7.3 I own ver 2.0.5 and on the cloud (linuz) I own a 2.2.2 (I'm talking of rdiff-backup). The funny stuff is if I decided to install prev version of Linuz on my cloud server I could get a match of versions... (2.2.2) rdiff-backup reply me with with Pyhton error: "Local version 2.0.5 does not match remote version 2.2.2" Two doubts pop up: 1) Have I to always couple rdiff-backup versions between OpenBSD and Linuz ever also after system upgrades? 2) I see on 7.4 you are on rdiff-backup vers 2.2.5, this permit me to remote my backup with ver 2.2.2 on the cloud? Eh-Eh-Eh.. (there is to laugh and lolly here..) And, to reply you, rdiff-backup let me do incremental backups of data with a certain gain in "network traffic" output along the way.. Almost this should be what promised.. Indeed I'm very happy with rdiff-backup locally since years, a little surprised of this endeavor going remotely.. -- Daniele Bonini Crystal Kolipe <kolip...@exoticsilicon.com> wrote: > It's not really clear what you are talking about. > > I think what you are saying is that you usually use rdiff for backup, > but you want to perform an additional backup to local media because > you are moving from one hosting provider to another and there is a > possiblilty that something might go wrong. > > In that case, since you'll be doing a full, (non-incremental), backup > anyway, just do it the simple way - use /bin/pax, and download the > archive your local machine over sftp afterwards. > > On Thu, Oct 05, 2023 at 05:42:35AM +0200, Daniele B. wrote: > > > > I found the fact that I'm running different versions between > > localhost and remote host (2.2.2) gives some deep scratches to > > rdiff-backup that stops to run almost immediately. > > > > Do you suggest to wait for 7.4 and retry? other thoughts? > > > > > > "Daniele B." <my2...@has.im> wrote: > > > > > Hello, > > > > > > I moving on the cloud between providers and I have been suggested > > > maybe correctly to backup my little cloud stuff also manually. > > > > > > I'm stick on rdiff-backup and I would like to try it also > > > remotely via ssh.
