Can someone correct me if I am wrong because I see some probs with adding and removing files in the fly. What happens to a file if someone has it opened and either you remove or replace it? My understanding of backups is that those types of files would get corrupted. Wouldn't rsync kick arse in this scenario when you want to backup updated or changed and restore files. Especially keeping the ownership and priviliges in tact.

How if the file is opened? Again appoligies if this has already been addressed. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
