.SH DESCRIPTION
.B rdiff-backup
is a script, written in
-.BR python (1) ,
-that uses the
-.BR rdiff (1)
-program to back up one directory to another. The target directory
-ends up a copy of the source directory, but extra reverse diffs are
-stored in the target directory, so you can still recover files lost
-some time ago. The idea is to combine the best features of a mirror
-and an incremental backup. rdiff-backup also preserves symlinks,
-special files, hardlinks, permissions, uid/gid ownership (if it is
-running as root), and modification times.
