Is there still a usecase for rdiff-backup in the times of Git?


When setting up a new backup strategy, is git the way to go these days?

Or does rdiff-backup still have advantages over git?

Git is a source code control system, not a backup.

You might be referring to 'bup', which is a backup system using git packfiles to store backup data.

As for advantages, you'll have to compare the feature set of both and decide for yourself.
