It may be a tad early yet, but I am about to the point in my comfort
with Rivendell to start thinking about backups.
I know this may not be the most common way, but we have our reasons, and
I'd like to duplicate this behavior if I can:
Our current automation system [MS-DOS based] contains two non-raid, but
mirrored hard drives. On a schedule that we specify, it copies the new
files, deletes the obsolete ones, etc.
Is there a way I can do this with Rivendell? Again, I realize most
people are probably using a central server with a redundant server to
house all station audio, clocks, etc, but I am comfortable with the way
we are set up now. Besides we have quite a few stations spread out, so
a central file store wouldn't work anyway in most of our cases.
With my very limited knowledge of linux, I thought perhaps running dd
with chron might be the ticket, but coming from a Windows guy, I don't
know how linux behaves when attempting to copy files in use.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Oh, and all my Rivendell installs are/will be based on the Paravel
Appliances. I have one V1 appliance in the field now, and currently
working on my first V2.

PS We actually had a hard drive die this past Saturday on one of our
DOS stations. I just simply powered down, unlocked the bad drive from
its removable cage, powered back up, and we were back in business.
