Back Up to CD with Cedar Backup

Back Up to CD with Cedar Backup

Sounds interesting, if not radically new and different. Just in case anyone was ever interested, I'm running a home-grown backup system based on rdiff-backup and flexbackup, with 4 components:

* Daily rdiff-backup to mirror crucial parts of the filesystem
(eg home, boot, etc, var/www, usr/local)
* Weekly flexbackup to build snapshots from rdiff-backup mirrors
* Burn compressed snapshots to writeable DVD, with checksumming etc
* Interactive rdiff-backup restore, so that I can see which increments
I have for each area, and restore (eg) /etc to any earlier state

Oh well, I can provide a copy of the script if anyone wants it. It's provisionally entitled "BackRest" - reassuringly supportive :-)
