I think you want something like rdiff-backup. It can be found on freshmeat.net. Basically keeps some history around as well as rsyncing for backups. I use rsync to backup my work Win98 partitions to my home linux box. Works a champ and keeps the backups offsite. -- Jack Bowling mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
