For that case, a backup with more than one "back" version would be more useful (see --link-dest in rsync for that). It is not against the system running amok and thrashing all attached disks (be it by accident -- improbable, or by malice -- more probable. cf. crypto-malware). Disconnected back ups are better here. It is not for against your shed going up in flames. Off site for this. Cheers -- t
