Rsync-incr has been updated to version 1.6. New in this version:

• old backup removal was not working if the destination was on NFS, fixed. Note that backuping to NFS is not a good idea as it is quite slower than local disks, this was why it was an untested case up to now.
• new --no option to only clean old backups to make room for the new ones, but not actually performing the backups
• messages on backup deletion a bit more detailed

Get the release on the Rsync-incr page!

Rsync-incr is a linux wrapper shell (bash) script around rsync to perform automated, unattended, incremental, disk to disk backups, automatically removing old backups to make room for new ones. It produces standard mirror copies browsable and restorable without specific tools.I have been using it in production daily at work and at home since 2004.

Its web page has now been moved onto this new web site, and I made a small cosmetic new release for it, 1.5
