Mine's similar. I have a backup server that do this using rsnapshot from other machines. Then the backup server export the backup volume as NFS read only. The machines mount their relevant backup volume as /yesterdays, so users can read their 'older' files. Access to backup server is very restricted (in this case, only I have access). But if one happens to "rm -rf /" in the backup server, well, that's either very bad luck, or ... (fill in the blank yourself ) :) RDB -- Reuben D. Budiardja Dept.
