πŸ’– RDIFF-BACKUP-FS πŸ’–

okay bestie, welcome to rdiff-backup-fs(1) from the General Commands Manual β€” yes this is that little legend right here, let's get into it πŸ¦‹

✨ NAME ✨

rdiff-backup-fs β€” a whole filesystem for accessing rdiff-backup archives. it's giving ✨portal to your backups✨

πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

rdiff-backup-fs <mount_point> <repository> [repositories ...] [-option ...]

πŸ’… DESCRIPTION πŸ’…

so like. rdiff-backup-fs is a filesystem in userspace that reads rdiff-backup archives and hands you convenient access to them. that's it, that's the whole vibe. you mount it, you browse your backups like they're just... files. iconic behavior fr fr πŸ‘‘

🌸 OPTIONS 🌸

  • --debug <0-4> β€” runs rdiff-backup-fs in the foreground and lets you pick how chatty the debug messages are, from 0 to 4. lowkey the "tell me everything" switch πŸ‘€
  • -o opt[,opt..] β€” passes mount options through, and yes that includes allow_other if you want other users to be able to access the file system. sharing is caring 🫢
  • -f, --full β€” stores info about all revisions in memory. > ⚠️ CAUTION: this may take a lot of memory if your archive has many revisions. bestie please check your RAM before you do this 😭
  • -l, --last β€” displays files from the most recent increment as directories, and each one holds every version of the file. > ⚠️ CAUTION: this also stores info about all revisions in memory, so same deal β€” may take a lot of memory if the archive contains many revisions. gorgeous feature, heavy price tag πŸ’€
  • -c <n>, --caching <n> β€” how many files pulled from the rdiff-backup archive the filesystem is allowed to cache. by default rdiff-backup-fs caches up to 10 files. set it to 0 and no caching happens at all. your call, no cap 🧚
  • -r <n>, --revisions <n> β€” how many revisions get stored in memory for on-demand revision retrieval. by default rdiff-backup-fs keeps up to 10 revisions in memory. lil memory budget, very demure ⭐
  • -d, --directory <path> β€” sets the directory where the temporary files live. by default rdiff-backup-fs uses /tmp. classic πŸ“
  • -v, --version β€” prints the version of rdiff-backup-fs and dips out. bye bestie πŸ‘‹
