Hello Steve. I know that is possibile with a custom (and simple) script, but as you are writing is something that is better to avoid.
Having all on the web gui can make, for a customer, all simpler; and I think that is a feature that will be appreciated from any user. Thanks for you reply.

I've been using this guy's strategy for years... http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/ ...and now that is rolled into a utility called rsnapshot ( www.rsnapshot.org ). In this case, you would only use to rotate, though, not actually back up. On Fri, May 17, 2013 at 6:33 AM, admin extremeshok.com < [email protected] > wrote: Yes and delta backups.
