Can the rsync be used from cron tabs to create a file mirroring system between several machines?
Certainly. There's already a package (available in SuSE 10.0 and, I presume, in openSUSE) called rdiff-backup which does this. See http://www.nongnu.org/rdiff-backup/.
Two packages: there is also rsnapshot: # Summary : backup programm using hardlinks # Description : # rsnapshot is a filesystem snapshot utility for making backups of # local and remote systems. Using rsync and hard links, it is possible # to keep multiple, full backups instantly available. The disk space # required is just a little more than the space of one full backup, # plus incrementals. Depending on your configuration, it is quite # possible to set up in just a few minutes. Files can be restored by # the users who own them, without the root user getting involved. There # are no tapes to change, so once it's set up, you may never need to # think about it again. Right now, I don't know the difference between rsnapshot and rdiff-backup - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
