My favorite of all backup methods (above and beyond redundant raid
arrays, off-site storage, and rotating, removable storage) is the
evolving and ever-improving snapshot method using rsync

I noticed it a while back when googling, and the documentation just
gets better. If one knows little about archiving, the whole thing is
written well enough to be educational.

Subject: Re: [luau] Next up, back up
I think you're giving my brain too much credit. What is tarballing and
how does it relate to back ups?

What's so tough about tarballing?
It is common to find tarball/cpio scripts that archive modified files
only. Transfering to the other server is the hardest choice.
ftpcopy,
rsyc and nfs are all options, but...
As I read your comment it occurred to me that we don't have to backup
to another machine. We can just back up to another directory. Our
mirrored drives provide enough safety, right?
So, is there an EASY solution for us?
