Two things I use for backups of low bandwidth clients is make sure you have--one-file-system set to avoid getting more backups than you expect and also set rsync --max-size= to limit the size of files. This avoids the mistake of leaving a large file (think .iso / .tar.gz) and slowing your backups down. Just use this with care for obvious reasons. -- Tim Fletcher <[email protected]> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book "Graph Databases" is the definitive new guide to graph databases and their applications.
