For example one can sometimes get in a real mess editing a file and you want to get back to where you were an hour, or a few hours ago. Look in the hourly incremental backups and copy the file back from there. (I do use mercurial configuration management as well but that only works if I have done a commit of the version I want back).

I don't really want to go to the extent of putting it on github or somewhere like that but I'd be quite happy to put the source code as it stands somewhere so that people can copy, modify, whatever as they want. It's fairly well documented by comments. As I said there are two similar but separately coded versions. The hourly backup one is a bash script and two python scripts (prebak.py and postbak.py). The daily backup one uses an rsync server on the remote machine where the backups are stored but is otherwise pretty similar to the hourly backup one. -- Chris Green ยท
