Quick and easy backups with Flyback

“Flyback is based on rsync and creates successive backup
directories mirroring the files you set up to back up. In order to
save space, Flyback hardlinks any unchanged files to previous
backups. With Flyback you can backup to either a networked drive
(so long as it is mapped), a usb drive, a thumb drive, or a
directory within the file system. One thing you want to certainly
avoid is backing up to a directory that is also being backed up. In
other words, if you are backing up /home/jlwallen you would not
want to back up to /home/jlwallen/BACKUP. Instead you would want to
back up to something like /BACKUP. But we’re getting ahead of
ourselves. Let’s first learn to install and use Flyback.”
