I am planning to rsync twice, once to each drive. Good idea. Sync them in different times; e.g. the first one every day and the other one every week. In this way you have an older backup if you want to restore something deleted by mistake. And keep the "weekly" one in a different (more secure) place. ;-) As you use rsync, you may be interested in rsync -av --delete /home/psmith/ --link-dest /media/IOmega/backups/myhome/20120605 /media/IOmega/backups/myhome/20120606 You can easily have 60 backups taken each day of the last two months and restore whatever you have deleted or messed up (e.g. diff on what the file is and what the file was). That is the setup I'm using (with dmcrypt, so to not have to worry about a stolen backup disk). -- Roberto Ragusa mail at robertoragusa.it -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
