We use it across several VPNs to back up several locations to one machine, then use rsync to mirror that machine to another machine offsite. -mike On Wednesday 05 April 2006 10:58, Steve Cayford wrote: > Stephan Mueller wrote: > > [...] > > the usual method is to do both in best case: have disc2disc backup for > > fast backups and recovery and tapes to take somewhere else in case the > > server burns or gets stolen. > > > > With just disc2disc in most cases you do not have a very long backup > > history - so in case a user wants back a file deleted some weeks ago in > > most cases won't be possible (depends on the size of discs in your backup > > server of course). > > Using something like rsnapshot can help a lot with saving disc space.
