baco

baco (BackupCopy) is a Mono / .NET program for easy backing up your files to a volume that supports hard links (ext2, ext3, ReiserFS, NTFS, ...). It runs on Unix/Linux (with Mono) and Windows (with Mono or .NET). Every run of baco produces a snapshot of all your files in a new folder named by current date and time. But if there are unchanged files (compared by content), these files will not need new hard disk space. Instead baco produces hard links. (Hard link: two or more file entries on the same volume share their data bytes.)
To configure the list of files and folders you want to have backed up, you edit a simple XML file. Run baco without parameters to see an example.
