Does anybody have experience and/or recommendations and/or scripts that could help somebody who usning rdiff-backup up across an unreliable link? If rdiff-backup fails in the middle of a backup it regresses to the last backup that finished successfully. If you are running this across an unreliable link you could consistently have a partial backup. I would like to know if there are systems to solving this situation. Hope to get some input from other users. cheers, Noah
