I disagree. rsync is excellent for keeping a local backup as it only copies those files that have changed. dd takes for ever so is run rarely, rsync can be run from /etc/cron.hourly if you wish. rdiff-backup, as has already been mentioned, is probably better for this, but it too is based on rsync. -- Neil Bothwick The trouble with doing something right the first time is that nobody appreciates how difficult it was.
