Has been fixed, but you need to understand release engineering better than
me if you want the fix now.
Fixed? What did you mean? SUJ and snapshots still doesn't work together.

isn't that the whole point of having a backup? to have *another* copy of your
files?
Well, yes and no.
The idea is that I have a main computer that I want to backup. I want the
backup to be (a) remote, (b) incremental and (c) random-accessible.

It seems this is just a wrapper around the tools I was already planning on
using. In this regard, it's a nice port. But won't this perl-script suffer
for tha same shortcommings that rsync will? Or does it use

Does this sound reasonable? Is there any precautions I should take? Are
there any other tools better suited for the task at hand?

(touche). yup, that's what would happenbut tha's the nature of the
beast :) don't keep too many snapshots ? ;)
it'd be great if you could keep a log of all local-mv operations,and
then replay them remotely via ssh.
hack replace mv with your own version which does local

I guess the proper way to do this (if you are REALLY REALLY worried
about that extra spaced used for snapshots in the remote site) would be
to implement a GEOM
. The snapshot will then tak
considerable more diskspace. If I move a large directory tree this way,
this will occupy huge amounts of diskspace.
Eh? Bad assumptions about snapshots, I think. If a snapshot occupied
even a tenth of the space of the data that it represented, we would
quickly fill all our
I'm thinking about using snapshots as a kind of backup-mechanism, in order
to restore accidentally deleted files. Also, in order to avoid losing data
in case of a fire, etc., I'd like to store the backup off-site. I'm
thinking about using rsync to syncronize the relevant filesystems

Making a snapshot is not very slow if the disk is relatively idle at the
time. Perhaps this is what's biting you?
