Let me suggest another idea: Put a venti on the remote machine and push the tree to be backed up with vac. Never think about maintaining incremental backups anymore - just pull in the stuff, and venti will store equal data blocks only once. All you now have to do is to put the root score (printed out by vac) into some safe place. You can even directly mount the backup via vacfs :) cu -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt == metux IT service - http://www.metux.de/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please visit the OpenSource QM Taskforce: http://wiki.metux.de/public/OpenSource_QM_Taskforce Patches / Fixes for a lot dozens of packages in dozens of versions: http://patches.metux.de/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
