About:
histbackup makes incremental backups of a directory tree in
a set of directories named by dates, or date-time if the date
already exists. Its companion script histbackup-prune
controls the archive growth. The new backup is prepopulated
by hardlinks of each file from the previous backup and then
updated with rsync(1). This arranges that the only new
content of each new backup is fresh copies of the changed
files. In this way each backup directory is a full copy of the
source directory but the disk space cost is that of an
incremental backup. Because it uses rsync, it is possible to
efficiently backup remote directories in this manner.
