rbackup is a wrapper utility for rsnapshot. rsnapshot is a filesystem snapshot utility. It can take incremental snapshots of local and remote filesystems for any number of machines. rsnapshot makes extensive use of hard links, so disk space is only used when absolutely necessary.

The package was created for ubuntu >= 7.04.

rbackup is only a wrapper-tool for rsnapshot that uses mainly rsync.

The only advantage of rbackup is that you can use it if you cannot run a cron job to run rsnapshot regularly. If you can use cron jobs, use them and don't use rbackup.

rbackup will read the configfile of rsnapshot and will examine the backups to get the dates the backups were created. If there needs to be created more backups (according to the configfile), rbackup will call rsnapshot with the according interval name as argument.

So, rbackup will typically be invoked as root by hand at some random time. (e.g. when the backup disk is connected)
