[rdiff-backup-users] Rdiff-backup syntax question

[Brent Webster]

Reading a bourne shell backup script

 

    rdiff-backup -r -1M /mnt/brandywineriver/backup

    rdiff-backup / /mnt/brandywineriver/backup

 

I realize the 2nd line take the entire root directory tree and copies

it into the backup directory.  It's the first line doing a restore one month

in the future that has me confused.  Is this a typeo?

 

I'm hoping you can just reply to this email since I really don't want to

join the mailing list on an on-going basis.

Thanks, Brent
