I you are backuping to disk, storebackup is what you are looking for, and more. With a simple .conf file and a cron job, I get backups every night to the backup disk. It keeps 7 daily backups, 5 end-of-week backups, and 3 end-of-month backups. (end-of-month, end-of-week, and daily can all be the same backup). Additionally, the backups are compressed individually on the disk so you can access them. the directoy /install/Backup/2004_02_17_04_00_01/ contains the status of my disk on 17 Feb at 4:01. To save space, it stored identical files only once, using hardlinks to point to the files in preveous backups. It is everything I ever wanted, and more.... Jerry P.S.

I was just about to setup a raid 1 when I realized I didn't want to really accomplish that. What I want is something to backup my system incase I fubar something. So, rather than dd my drive every night, I'm wondering how I can backup my system where only the changed files get backed up rather than the whole drive. I looked at rsync but I'm not sure if that's what I want.
Any advice?
