It is essentially a perl script that essentially uses rsync to keep hourly, daily, weekly backups. One of the nice things about the way it works is that files are hard linked so that it does not unnecessarily duplicate files. I currently have mine set to do the hourly backups every 4 hours. Daily, weekly, and Monthly are simply a renaming operation. You can set it to run as frequently as you want and to retain a few or many sections as you want (like 4 hourlies, 7 dailies, 4 weeklies, ...). -- Jerry Feldman <gaf@xxxxxxx> Boston Linux and Unix PGP key id: 537C5846 PGP Key fingerprint: 3D1B 8377 A3C0 A5F2 ECBB CA3B 4607 4319 537C 5846
