Introduction

Hddbackup is a simple backup solution. It is not intended to compete with advanced solutions like Backuppc or Bacula. The software is implemented as a Python script using rsync, ssh, tar, gzip/bzip2/xz, and gpg. It is based on cdbkup, but all the CD-specific parts have been removed. It has been ported from Pearl to Python, new features have been added, and various bugs have been fixed.

Features

  • Full and (multi-level) differential backups
  • Compression (supports GNU gzip, GNU bzip2, and xz)
  • Encryption (using GPG)
  • Remote backups (via ssh)
