Nothing important changed. I'm quite happy with rsnapshot. It does take some
time to copy and delete lot of files, but it's expected. Before this issue
with HDDs I haven't had any performance issues. rsnapshot would copy and
delete and load would be low. I'm using RAID10 so that might helped.
I understood that rdiff-backup is much faster, but I was put away from it
because of stalled development. Also, I like how every backup iteration of
rsnapshot looks complete.
