Hi! Thanks for this project. Have you thought about incremental backup functionality in node.js? There are some tools, like rdiff-backup or duplicity that could be third party 'dependency', but the are great tools. Regards.

Hi @invokercd, no, incremental backup is not supported, but it's not bad idea. We must wait for new updates for the following year. Thanks!

@petersirka In a nutshell, at this time I look for solution to bind these utilities with node.js (and maybe create some REST frontend for statistics/manipulating). The problem is, I don't well known how 'deep' node.js can interact with shell (using exec) commands.
