I've used Rsync in the past and it is awsome if you always back up to the same location and the data isn't encrypted. If you want to keep versions of the backups, you could always copy the data in the remote (backup) location to a version folder after the rsync completes. Rsync essentially copies what has changed since the last backup, but keeps it in a consistent full copy instead of a differential backup. There was a company here in Calgary backing up terabytes of data multiple times per day which each backup taking minutes. YMMV.

Hi all,
   I'm doing a regular backup of the CLUG site, and I was wondering
what people here used for mirroring utilities. I've been using
httrack, but it seems like I could find something a lot faster.

For instance, doing

httrack http://clug.ca/pipermail/clug-talk_clug.ca/ -W -O
"/tmp/CLUG-clugtalk" -%v

pulls the clug-talk mailing list in 1 hour 8 minutes (a total of 78 megabytes).

Anyone with a simpler/faster solution?
