Bleg for info &#8211; Linux backup tools and services
<p>One of the comments that got lost in the recent database restore was a pointer to a backup program I can&#8217;t offhand remember the name of.  I remember that it&#8217;s a command-line tool written in Perl (alas) and meant to be done by a cron job; what it does  underneath is rsync with hardlinks to the remote target, so you  get a Time-Machine-like effect for not much beyond the space requirement of the initial dump.  Can someone remind me what this is. please?</p>
<p>Also, I&#8217;m in the market for a dropbox-like service that I can rsync to and from, for off-site backup.  Any suggestions?</p>
<p>UPDATE: rsnapshot is what I was trying to remember.  A very elegant little tool, thoughtfully written and handy.  I may go with rsync.net for offsite backup.</p>
