I do agree that rdiff-backup would be easier on the disk space. But my current practice is to sync all the changes into a tree that rotates every 7 days. (using the day before as a seed) This way, if bad things happen, I don't have to do the find full backup and apply the incrementals. > Unlike rsync, it allows you to easily roll back to an older version of > file.

Please explain the roll back. it should be the same as with rsync No? -- Ow Mun Heng Gentoo/Linux on DELL D600 1.4Ghz 1.5GB RAM 98% Microsoft(tm) Free!!
