No, I don't think so. Using rsync to send file 'diffs' each day, you're making a new 'copy' (updating the remote copy) of any local files which have changed since the day before (or since whenever the 'remote' copy was created). The downside to this is that if you _are_ using the same 'target' directory to send your backups to (or compare 'local' files to for diff-ing purposes), you don't have multiple discrete versions of each file (like with a traditional rotated backup). The remote version will either the same as the local version (post-synch), or is only different by the 'diff' between the two (pre-synch). So you would have the potential to 'infect' or break the 'remote' file copy if you didn't notice a problem with the local file copy before the scheduled backup/synch happened. - -- Bruce Timberlake http://www.brtnet.org/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD4DBQE+NN4pvLA2hUZ9kgwRAvNIAJUdwV64m4oC9mbC8VIZUjjT9ffkAJ4z9fja L/FyNp845jrFHpnmLhyM1g== =SWAi -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ cobalt-developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://list.cobalt.com/mailman/listinfo/cobalt-developers
