If after testing and evaluation you feel it is not valuable, > then simply say so... but at least take a look first. Has been "running" om 5.6b7 for a 2-3 weeks. HAs created daily and weekly backups with accurate historys. No data changed till a few days ago (added a couple of megs to admin home since then) du --max-depth 1 /backup 12164 /backup/daily.0 1136 /backup/daily.1 1076 /backup/weekly.0 1052 /backup/daily.2 1072 /backup/daily.3 1076 /backup/daily.4 1076 /backup/daily.5 1124 /backup/weekly.1 1088 /backup/weekly.2 20876 /backup so that's increased by a factor of 2 If all data changed every day... du -l --max-depth 1 /backup 12164 /backup/daily.0 10260 /backup/daily.1 10224 /backup/weekly.0 10224 /backup/daily.2 10220 /backup/daily.3 9288 /backup/daily.4 9284 /backup/daily.5 9248 /backup/weekly.1 9120 /backup/weekly.2 90044 /backup We would get a a factor of 9. So some where in between in the real world. > > If you find it looks promising but needs enhancement, GREAT!

It would need to be available to the admin thru samba (no probs there)for one off file/dir restore or from the server-manager.... 2. Or as a stand alone backup server where we are pulling the original file tree from another rsync capable or nix box 3. What about backing up W2K servers? SMBclient/FTP the W2K tree to the backup server and rsback from that? How difficult is it to get rsync running as a service on W2K? Would be quicker and cheaper than tape for recovery of one off files, etc. DR would be hotswaps or resident T-Drives.
