I'm wondering what's a rational way to decide among the backup alternatives, rsync and unison in particular. The simplest decision algorithm would seem to be: use rsync until it's shown to be unsuitable or inferior. Driving every alternative to the point of failure would be a very time-consuming enterprise. But perhaps others have different ideas -- not as to which backup utility is best, but as to what decision algorithm is best.

My suggestion is to install both and see which you like best. I just thought I'd try unison, neither the SuSE 9.1 or from the main site versions work, reports "unknown option -server". Regards Hi Sid,
There was a YOU update for rsync in 9.2 PeterB -- -- Proud SUSE user since 5.2 Loving SUSE 9.2 My BLOG == http://vancampen.org/blog --
