Hi all,

its me again

After my desaster with lost emails I am about to install a backup solution.
I would like to go with rdiff-backup and rdiffweb for a somewhat "handy" interface.
However, when I installed rdiffweb via pip I could not get it to run.

A reason might be, it was installed in a "./local/..." directory which is not correct - I f am not mistaken.
However I am just a bit lost on how to install it to a correct location.
I am probably already wrong when starting python...

Any hint?

Thanks

I'm not familiar with rdiffweb or rdiff-backup, so I can't really tell.

From the looks of it, rdiff-backup seems to what rsnapshot does, more or less.

About rdiffweb, it seems like it is an overkill. Do you really need all that? In any case, the easiest option to deploy/run it is probably docker.

Hi gapan,

well, rsnapshot might be an option - thanks!

rdiffweb, yeah I was after something with a GUI to explore/examine the backup.
You might be right, its probably big as it installs many python packages (if they are called so) but refused to work.
I am neither familiar with docker nor I was with pip.

But I will take a closer look into rsnapshot first!

Thanks.
