rsync --delete is your friend here, safer than a raw find command. Take a look at the (buldout-friendly, templated) shell script I linked to earlier in this thread. It does a few nice things: * Keeps the current snapshot current - no stale (old files removed by pack). * Keeps 1..N days snapshots, with little additional disk space. Uses hard links, so you consume inodes, not disk space. One of my sites has 2GB of BLOBs, and I don't see more than 2.1GB of total disk space consumed usually by 7 days worth of snapshots (in addition to the source 2GB) -- so you basically just plan for double the storage of whatever your BLOB dir is storing at any time. I sync local copies of snapshots, then pull rsync+ssh the rest to remote storage, then perform the same snapshoting on the remote storage as I do with local backups. This is a nice side-effect of just using a bash script.
