https://rdiff-backup.net/ [ 1 ] was http://www.nongnu.org/rdiff-backup/

Combines rsync with diff storage, so one can retrieve a backup from any point in time.

My initial impression was “Works wonderfully well.. very easy to use, very nice. Would be nice to have a GUI tool for recovery purposes though, but oh well.” .. but my 2009-04-01 glance was a flop.

An ex-commando’s daughter is kidnapped in a ploy to have him help overthrow a foreign government, but this single father will instead fight to rescue her.

Fuse is not secure! – Noted on https://github.com/libfuse/libfuse. See issue #15
