+1 for rdiff-backup. If your backup strategy is rsync, then you ought to look at rdiff-backup. I wouldn't replace an archive to tape by rdiff-backup, but would look into replacing a complex backup software by rdiff-backup + a simple dump to tape. -- Yves. http://www.sollers.ca/blog/2008/swappiness http://www.sollers.ca/blog/2008/swappiness/.fr _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
