Hi
We just got a new requirement: To automated the backup of the all the data on
the network with the option of being able to retrieve/restore a file upto any
7 days.

This would mean I'd need the Debian server storage capacity would need to be
at least 200 GB x 7 = 1.4 TB.
Question: Is there a better way to do what I'm doing? And is there already a
piece of software that exists on the NET that does what I'm doing better and
I should trying to re-invent the wheel? :-)
You might try this strategy. It requires (usually) only a little more
than 2x storage space.
