Agree. I think a script being smart with rsync is the way to go. I didn't find anything on-the-shelf that would make sense here. In my experience - but I only work with tape - anything that involves human intervention is rarely found off-the-shelf.
I used to use Exabyte and DLT tape libraries for backups. They were great! I used the classic "dump" program with a Tower of Hanoi dump-level plan. It saved my bacon many times. Indeed, I was perplexed when SuSE went to Reiserfs by default. Dump doesn't support Reiserfs. I remember complaining about it on a Usenet list and received a rather curt reply from none other than Hans Reiser himself telling me to just use tar instead. This was obviously before he murdered his wife and ended up in prison. I wonder what he's up to these days? Regards, Lew
