Hi, 

..it _is_ OT: cvs as company data backup server engine? 

..I'm doing a company data backup server for a client, and 
while I like to keep thing simple but _firmly_ solid, and it 
struck me I could get _paid_ to take the time to do something 
useful to FG too; learn to use cvs.  ;-)

..my idea is use cvs as a data backup server engine to _promptly_ 
back up whatever new file is saved, to cvs, and instead do 
the backup to the tape, off the cvs "code" base, rather than 
the traditional way, full, incremental, differential etc, off 
the file systems, every hour, day, week etc.  

..added bonus I can see, is the end user can get back the exact version 
of whatever file (s)he managed to wipe off the firm's disk, in a 
cvs-web-like interface, and I believe the backups can be automated 
transplarently, but then again, what do I know about cvs?  ;-) 

..pointers to anyone who beat me to this idea is _much_ appreciated,
as are pointers to resources telling me I'm an idiot thinking this 
is possible.  Thank you anyway.  :-)

  best case, worst case, and just in case.
