Description L 2008-04-10 07:55:10 UTC
For users who keep rolling daily backups, in addition to weekly and monthly
backups, it would be more efficient to have an option for incremental backups.

rdiff-backup does not have a native GUI; if there are no legal barriers to
including it as an archive option, it would be nice to see.

Sorry if this is the wrong place for a feature request.  I looked for a
fwbackups roadmap but couldn't find one.  Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion! I'm going to be pretty busy soon because it's getting
close to exam time, but just to keep you updated I've talked with a friend and I
am going to try to implement this for the next major release, 1.43.2 and I'll
implement rdiff natively in the release after that.
