The last time someone asked about disk-to-disk backup solutions, people mentioned both FauBackup and rsync. So, now I'm in the same boat and I decided to check them both out. At first I thought a specialized backup tool like FauBackup might be better for backups than a general tool like rsync, but in going over the web pages for each, I don't notice anything that Faubackup does that rysnc doesn't also do. Is there any reason that I should prefer Faubackup to rsync? Without a good reason to prefer it, it seems that I should go with what is more general and more widely used.
|>oug P.S. If possible, I'd really like to have the snapshots be compressed. Does anyone know if either of these tools can be easily configured to do that. Alternatively, has anyone been able to install and seriously beat on a compressed filesystem with Red Hat 9.0 and verified that it is robust. --- Send mail for the `bblisa' mailing list to [EMAIL PROTECTED]'.
