Back In Time

Writable snapshot

Asked by p.kieszkowski@wp.pl

I am using back in time frequently and this is a very good tool.
I have one question:

Is it possible to add option to not create only readable snapshot ?
This would be great if you want to recover files just by copy it from the snapshoot - without usage of the BackInTIme GUI
(I know that there is an option to use rsync only - but I think in this case backintime dosen't create a hardlinks - which is powerful think).

The 'Full rsync mode' uses hardlinks, too. They are created by rsync it self. So you could use that.

BTW starting from version 1.0.26 you can use 'backintime --restore' from command line, too.

Can you help with this problem?
