Rsync isn't a backup tool.
You can delete a mountain of stuff, corrupt a zillion files, and not notice it till AFTER the next rsync run, which will dutifully clobbers your backup in the same way.
the problem is not rsync (you can use it and never delete anything), but the target of the copy. Anything writable online can be corrupted. a real backup is tightly depending of the use one have high availability, small chunks of data versus large data files... the best backup, but probably the more expensive is professional external write only backup (you write your backup to professional server). I have an host that can even make mirrors through datacenters (the two copies may be on different continents) but, for example, I have a cron / rsync backup of the server of my LUG on my own server and it's perfectly enough for this purpose jdd -- http://www.dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
