No one proposed that. The scenario is that the backup server would have its rsync destination dir (from multiple other systems) periodically snapshotted, providing a historic view of what it contained 1-2-3 months ago. Just like "bup" does in userspace, I guess? -- or like rdiff-backup did, which I used before. But now we have that directly in filesystem, no need to cling to userspace crutches anymore. -- With respect, Roman -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
