Yes I should have mentioned that originally! However, I am happy to carry on using unison until I find something better. >From what I've read from your link, rsnapshot isn't what I want. It seems rsnapshot is great for, erm, snapshots. But snapshots aren't backups. I want backups for when a disk fails, and it seems rsnapshot, by relying on hard links, is not intended to propagate data outside of the original filesystem. If my disk fails I lose the original data and all the snapshots, which is kind of disappointing! If I have got this wrong then, firstly, I apologise, and secondly, I am sure you will put me right :-) I see unison as a replacement for disk mirroring, and in that context it works well. I never write to the backup disk (other than indirectly via unison) nor do I have any reason to, so changes being propagated back isn't a worry.
