Reading a bourne shell backup script rdiff-backup -r -1M /mnt/brandywineriver/backup rdiff-backup / /mnt/brandywineriver/backup I realize the 2nd line take the entire root directory tree and copiesit into the backup directory. It's the first line doing a restore one monthin the future that has me confused. Is this a typeo?
I don't know where you found the script, but I would *guess* that it intended to do --remove-older-than rather than (-r AKA --restore-as- of). The remove would make sense to prune old revisions to keep the backup from growing without bound.
