Being able to get information about each backup, time required, storage used, is important. My need to script something to get summary data about the backup. I like to get a daily report that spells out how long and how much, since it will be the first thing I see to know if something failed or if a system has been compromised with lots of changed files. aka crypto-ware.
Code:
$ sudo rdiff-backup --list-increment-sizes /d/D7/backups/nextcloud
