My backup now is multi-disk raid1 BTRFS, made up of leftover harddisks. I choose BTRFS because of "snapshot" feature. Before, I used to do daily, weekly, and monthly backups (rsync), which resulted in 3 separate copies. Now, I do daily backup, and then take snapshot daily, weekly, and monthy. -- William --- Talk Mailing List [email protected] https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
