I'm used to rsync my home directory to external disc. I also use YaST backup module (I think I can recommend it) to backup any other system data. I then rsync regular backup together with my data.

Its probably redundant for the people on this list, but, at the risk of sounding pedantic, I'll toss it out anyway:
Rsync isn't a backup tool.
..
So I wrote a little shell script to copy user+critical-data every 10 minutes to a salvage area each date-stamped. It is self maintaining in that it removes the "salvage" files after a period of time sufficient for the the BRU backup to captures them. The storage is requirement is surprisingly minimal.
Just wondering.. A couple of time i noticed people scripting around rsync for doing backups. Isn't rsnapshot supposed to be the tool for doing this? Hans -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
