The quick fix here is to use a Mac with an external or network drive for time machine. If you aren't familiar with it, it does exactly what you suggested with easy access for the user and filesystem tricks for efficiency. For a more enterprise flavor, NetApp fileservers have done filesystem snapshots at configurable intervals into hidden but accessible directories for decades now with next to no overhead, again with filesystem tricks. (But their patents are probably what has kept everyone else from doing it well for so long...). -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
