How can I merge the two increment backups into one directory,say /backupdir/increment ?
In an "incremental backup", files matched in the previous backup are omitted altogether, right? So then all you need to do is copy all the files from /backupdir/back2 and /backupdir/back1 into one directory, where files from /backupdir/back1 override those from /backupdir/back2. This is easy to do with rsync (or with cp, for that matter): rsync -a /backupdir/back2 /backupdir/increment rsync -a /backupdir/back1 /backupdir/increment Does this answer your question, or have I misunderstood it?
