note to myself and anyone with same problem who finds the thread:

stumbled on psync: A naive tool for syncing partitions using rsync which sounds like it’s at lest trying to do this task.

No documentation, no users, no project changes in 6 years… Will give it a try another time.

hmmm I think this is a bit beyond me; at this point I don’t want to create an additional side project. I might learn about the more modern spiffy file systems in a few years.

the clonezilla website clonezilla.org says

Differential/incremental backup is not implemented yet.

Borg backup has insane deduping. The first time I used it I thought it was broken because of how much smaller the backup was compared to the original. I used it with vorta GUI.

I am not sure how to combine the task of making a disk image with backing up with borg either on the command line or via one of the GUIs?

Thanks I will look at rdiff. I am not sure if rsync is able to “see inside” the *.img files to discern the individual files. If it can then it would be helpful because I could just re-write the same file over and over again and keep backups using rsync or any of the various rsync-derrived tools?

The filesystem will be cold at time of back up because I will need to shut it down, remove the card from the console and put it into my computer’s reader so no worries about that.

Did you ever find out? I was just trying some gaming via a retro console and it is pretty cool! Seems very promising, certainly people must be doing other stuff.

where do you live that 98% of people watch the nightly news

She is so evil she should be on Scandal.

I believe the scene OP is talking about is in Kira’s quarters

Ah I knew the scene by this description.

Later in this ep is one of my fav moments of all DS9. Kira in the creek moving rocks. Bareil comes to lay some charm but then the dark shadow of Winn on the bridge… so polite. So politiq.

“You can stay here as long as you need… Even a week!” or smthg like this.

Cut to the final eps of her a Dukat…
