If you're mainly interested in backups and not just quick hardware
recovery (i.e. continued uptime on HD failure), then you should consider
rdiff-backup. Rdiff-backup cretaes a hard disk based backup including
support for deleted, created files. It saves a most recent snapshot and
backward delta-files to recreate the filesystem at the time of any
previous backup. I run this on my servers nightly, even across the
internet. It uses librsync so that diffs are calculated efficiently
using minimal bandwidth. A backup of the changes to my 10 gig /home
partition takes on average of 10 minutes nightly over my DSL connection
to another machine I admin in Missouri.

Thanks...that sounds like it would work...and not require a new IDE card
(or HDD, if I backup to another machine).
What is librsync? I could find no mention of it on my RH9 box...from
either rpm or 'locate'...
The rdiff-backup website provides a RH8 binary rpm...would that be likely
to run on a RH9 system without recompiling from the source?
TIA,
Chris
