-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Greetings,
I would like to speak to developers now. I am using rdiff-backup for backup my Vista x64 desktop machine to Linux server, as I was disappointed with built-in Vista backup tool. One reason for all: Vista's built-in backup tool simply refuse to backup files like *.php, and many more file name extensions... Vista built-in backup tool stores all files on backup media (e.g. network) in industry standard .zip format. It would be nice enhancement if rdiff-backup would store backed-up data in *.zip files, but I personally would prefer *.7z, which is more or less industry standard as well. Idea behind this is reduce volume of backed-up data. Of course, there should be defined rules, or some kind of heuristics, which files should be compressed (e.g. plain-text files) and which not (e.g. *.mp3), since it does not make sense to compres already compressed file - you only get bigger resulting file in case of compressing already-compressed files. With best regards, Marian 'VooDooMan' Meravy . -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkvqRFoACgkQ1b4D/nruUWewKQCgykMbdYsG0VIIRj30bhf2SOgY jZ4AnRSqOur25izNlfVDYZWVypSBjfX+ =TkEt -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ rdiff-backup-users mailing list at [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/rdiff-backup-users Wiki URL: http://rdiff-backup.solutionsfirst.com.au/index.php/RdiffBackupWiki
