I've been playing around with the same idea, but I think it's not going to work out if you don't have a very fast internet connection or don't have that much data. Other than that, it appears you can't only sync the changes home, because of the way BackupPC stores the backup you need to make an archive from your backups, which is potentially a lot of data. -- @lex ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper from Novell.
