I wanted to use rdiff-backup so that I could easily roll back changes on the production server if the modifications weren't working correctly. But now that I think about it, I can see how if the production server is the "backup" copy with the incremental snapshots, that won't allow me to do that anyway. Any other ideas on a system that will allow me to roll back changes? p.s. sorry about the double-post _______________________________________________ rdiff-backup-users mailing list at rdiff-backup-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/rdiff-backup-users Wiki URL: http://rdiff-backup.solutionsfirst.com.au/index.php/RdiffBackupWiki
