Incremental backups made easy

11 December 2011

In my last post I wrote in length about backups but I omitted one thing: how to make incremental backups that use so called hard links and that barely take more space than 1:1 backups (on both windows and osx). First though, let me explain what is so nice about this concept.

Backups

I always thought that one of the great things about digital technology is the ability to have backups - physical items can break but with digital data there is no reason why you should ever loose it, because creating exact copies of it is easily possible. And yet few people I know have a convincing backup strategy. Since I will hold a lecture at the filmArche filmschool next week on Workflow with digital files and Backups I thought this would be a good time to write the most important points about it down.
