Hi a and the rest of the mailing list,<br>
<br>
At home I have a freenas device I store all my media, when I need
something I just access the file server. But that's how I do it, and
it's not ideal, but I tend to be lazy with my setup at home.<br>
<br>
To directly answer the question, I believe rsnapshot is not
receiving support currently.

<br>
I think the go to application for file based incremental backup for
user-created files is Back In Time.
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/bit-team/backintime">https://github.com/bit-team/backintime</a><br>
<br>
For Ubuntu you can install the PPA:<br>
<blockquote>sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bit-team/stable<br>
sudo apt update<br>
sudo apt install backintime-qt4<br>
</blockquote>
Here is the documentation:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://backintime.readthedocs.io/en/latest/">https://backintime.readthedocs.io/en/latest/</a><br>
<br>
I'd be interested in hearing feedback from others if Back In Time
isn't a good program. I have had very limited experience with it.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
