A commercial tool much like BackupPC is Crashplan. http://www.crashplan.com/ It's remarkably good; and one of the features where it wins over backuppc is in its ability to throttle bandwidth usage so that it doesn't interfere with user operations. Admittedly it does this via a dedicated client (which didn't go very far when someone tried building it for BackupPC). It also deals well with locked files right out of the box. -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enable your software for Intel(R) Active Management Technology to meet the growing manageability and security demands of your customers.
