rdiff-backup: declaration of love

I really love rdiff-backup

I use rdiff-backup with cron to backup my home directory from my raid 5 to a single harddrive daily.

Today I have done something wrong in Thunderbird, so I deleted my complete INBOX!

No problem.... Mount the backup drive, used rdiff-backup -r now to restore all data.

Result: Lost some Spam mails

Debian Volatile Service

Relating to that Virus Scanning entry I think Debian Volatile is better for an up-to-date ClamAV than Backports.org.

Debian Volatile is made for packages that change very often, and you need the current upstream package on a server. Like an up-to-date virus scanning engine.

So simple and this line to your sources.list and run after that an apt-get update.

deb http://ftp2.de.debian.org/debian-volatile sarge/volatile main

BTW: Volatile Mirror List

Now you can install your clamav normally with an apt-get install clamav.
