Back In Time

no incremental with sshfs

Asked by rob

I mount a ext3 partition on my network server with sshfs to store my backups. My client system is Ubuntu 10.04 with ext4. BIT only makes full backups, and no incrementals (which takes hours).

I saw several topics about incrementals, but most of them concerned a backup to a fat drive/partition.

sshfs dont support hard links.

There is a patch set for openssh available, but that one is over one year old.

See: https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1555
