Hello,
I am a little confused about setting up venti (on linux).
I followed the instructions found on the wiki, and venti is up. But
now I am lost; as far as I understood (from the man pages) I have to
run vac every time I want to backup something and then unvac it every
time I want to recover it, right? I heard many times, here and
elsewhere, that you can configure venti to perform a backup of the
whole system say at 3:00 am, then am I supposed to create some kind of
rc script to do this (using vac, of course)? and where yesterday fits
into this? I feel that I am missing a big part here. I want to be able
to backup my home directory every day at 3:00 am.
Sorry if the question has an obvious answer, but I cannot see the
whole venti picture yet.
