I finally got around to trying to install rdiff-backup and found a couple of dependencies that I cannot resolve. I can't seem to locate librsync.so.1 even though I have rsync installed and I have the librsync-devel package available. (When I search for librsync.so.1, nothing is found.) I also seem to need an older version of Python which I am reluctant to install plus I have no idea where to find an older version. Any assistance will be appreciated.

Flat out the best backup tool is a app called rdiff-backup. Its simple to use and can even backup through ssh for remote incremental backups. The program is free and works on just about every linux distro out there. Just google rdiff-backup on google.com.

I'm looking for a tool (free to use) for making incremental backup of some directory on my personal webserver. I've made a bashscript lunched via cron using tar, but tar is not realible as a backup solution..

I do, though :-)

You are using the wrong tool to look for an unknown system file: try "pin librsync". It has its own rpm:

Thanks for the suggestion but it didn't work, probably because I have no idea what "pin" is. I'll research it later when I have more time or just use something else. Don Henson

'man pin' would perhaps shed some light.

If he couldn't issue the pin command or find it then chances are the package isn't installed so therefore the man page wouldn't be either. http://www.suse.com/us/private/products/suse_linux/i386/packages_professiona...

IIANM, pin is one of the defaults within the 'Documentation' package. Surely a newcomer would install _all_ of the documentation available to find his way ???? -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org

Just try it - another program on the distro courtesy of SuSE. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
