I use faubackup for disk based backups. It keeps a complete mirror at each backup date, using hard links between the backups on different dates to avoid duplication. The weaknesses of this system are that this method of deduplication does not work well with log files (fix by doing regular rotations) and database files (there is no good solution for those with any backup system). -- Regards, Troy Rollo Solicitor Parry Carroll Commercial Lawyers Direct: (02) 8257 3177 Fax: (02) 9221 1375 Switch: (02) 9221 3899 E-mail: [email protected] Web: www.parrycarroll.com.au Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation This message and any attachments are confidential to Parry Carroll.
