Rsnapshot is a backup solution for Unix machines including Linux and OSX, it supports many great features including full backups with the size of only incremental backup, it also support backing up local and remote machines.

When I started producing backup worthy files (code, documents, projects, etc …), I realised the importance of backups after losing important files which happens to everybody. So I started my journey with backup solutions.

Backup generation 1: My first backup was simple directory copy operation, I copied my important directories to external floppy (then CD), and since it is manual operation I always forget about it and my backups was always old.
