Hmmm,
seems like I am doing it the other way round (kind of..).
I have dirvish backup all my machines (in fact I use a script that pings
the machines and then tells dirvish to back it up if switched on). So I
have one vault per server, in some cases two. The "normal" dirvish
expire rules administer these vaults.
Then I have a second server (NSLU2 SLug running Debian), that is not
always on. When switched on it rsyncs the whole Dirvish vault to its
local disk. Keeping all hard links intact etc. That rsync also uses the
--delete parameter, to remove old dirs that expired on the dirvish machine.
Cheers Brian
