[opensuse] Easy backup for home users
Hi, wouldn't it be a nice idea to include a tool similar to the Time Machine feature from OSX in Opensuse?, is there any project about that?. Home users would be really happy to recover a snapshot of a file they deleted accidentaly. I know there's rsync (I use it myself), but i'm talking about easy of use. There are some projects already working like Flyback and TimeVault.

For versioned backups, I use storebackup. Once configured, it is really a no brainer. It runs from cron.daily, uses compression and hard links to make it super space efficient. Here at home (smaller needs and partition space) I have it keep 3 days worth backed up. At work, I now have it keeping 40 days worth of each file. It works very well for me. -- Joe Morris Registered Linux user 231871 running openSUSE 10.3 x86_64 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
