I've been reading this thread and wondering if you are talking about two different things. It seems that Nicholas is saying that an rsync is not enough to back up a server that has important and changing temporary data written to files. It seems that Ross wants to know if there is any harm in rsyncing the directories where that data lives. The answer (it seems) is no. However, it will not be that valuable in restoring that service from a back-up. Did I misread all of that?
