No, rsync will only hardlink to instances of the same file in the same location from previous runs. Backuppc will link every file with identical contents even from different machines and locations. And it compresses them. So you could probably keep 2 to 10x the history online compared to anything else. Plus it has a nice web interface. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
