Don't tell him it's a wrapper round rsync. > On that topic, another great solution is rdiff-backup. http://www.nongnu.org/rdiff-backup/ Yes, this is based on rsync, but it has some very nice additions, so your boss might approve :: easy to deploy - available in the standard Fedora repo, no need for a server, just one standard package on each box :: backup remote servers with a 1 line command (assuming you have SSL key authentication configured) :: can easily run through SSL, for example, if you need to backup over the internet :: uses rsync as a transport, so it's pretty fast (it only sends changes over the network) :: wraps rsync to add extra features, including tracking of differentials on every backup :: so your backup filesystem will contain a complete mirror of what you backed up, not an archive. This means you can easily login to the backup server and simply browse/copy files direct out of the last backup (no need to extract individual files, just browse, view, copy, directly), OR, you can roll a file back to previous dates, such as "restore this file to how it was 15 days ago" :: it works great -- 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?
