Backup with rdiff-backup

Why do I have to learn the hard way?!?

When you want to write rm *~ dont stop half way there (rm *). Luckily It was only a few templates for the developer version of Debianart that got wiped, but it has delayed kick off yet again. Perhapes next weekend?

But the event made me look at a way to backup my important files. A colleague recommended rdiff-backup for backup and I have look at it and found it worthy :) I have used some examples I found on the net to get a picture on how it works. The good news is that rdiff-backup exists as a Debian package.
