The rdiff-backup program is a command-line utility with a simple syntax, that makes backup copies of one or more directories to a target directory. To that extent, it is just straightforward: type the command, and it does the job. Embed a command within a script for extra facilities, and add the script to the scheduled tasks to run automatic backups. Target directories may be on any writable device, and may be safely copied.
