Does anyone here know of good online backup software? That is, with disks getting so big that they can be hard to fill up and tapes are getting impractical, why not back up a Linux machine to a different computer, or in the case of a raid 1 machine, maybe even to itself (to a normally unmounted partition).
As a first approximation a simple rsync could be pretty efficient at making backups, but I also want to be abe to fetch old versions of changed (or deleted) files. I think I want rsync with history. To save space I would like to run it immediately after installing the OS to establish a baseline that wouldn't actually have to be stored, maybe just kept as md5s like a tripwire database. Is there such a thing? -kb, the Kent who doesn't see that cvs would work, because it wants to put too much extra stuff among my backed up data and not all software is happy with that, it doesn't like binary data, and it wants to turn off the w-bit. P.S. I think I want EVC, External Version Control. It would be a program that looks in from the outside, quiety noting changes, all without tampering with the subject matter at all. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
