Study Guide: rdiff-backup script

Uses

Mac Time Machine is easy to set up and use, but it offers few options, can become corrupted without notice, and takes up a lot of space. One alternative is diff-backup, a Python shell script created over 20 years ago, and still very much alive today. It is used to manage incremental backups on *NIX machines. Now that macOS is *NIX under the hood, Mac users can take advantage of this classic script. It is easily installed using Homebrew:

brew install rdiff-backup
