I would recomend using dar (possibly with kdar frontend) for backups. It supports incremental backups, but backups are kept in some kind of archives (multi-volume ones) that can be put to CDs, DVDs, ... That approach brings good sides of both rsync-based backup and tar-based backup. I really don't have enough space to do rsync of my home directory, but I can spare a few CDs or DVDs per month to store another increment of the backup. Maybe it is not unwise to do a full backup once or twice a year and incremental backup once a week or once a month. If you include dvdisaster error correction codes with the backups, the solutions sounds quite safe to me. - -- Filip Brcic <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> WWWeb: http://purl.org/NET/brcha/home/ Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4-svn0 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFHQFxjeugpoxYs6H8RAmIhAKCuj3fHYd+Bu3Y0vUG1kVI1O7dMwACgsKXJ Tv2NKcwNvdih9cgg7HGmXHk= =3FoV -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
