--you will have a full week of daily backups that you can restore from, either on a per file basis or as a whole. --But you only need to accomodate your data size plus "slightly more", because the "full backup any day" is done by using symlinks, so you profit from the fact, that a very lare percentage of your data will most likely be identical from a given day to the next.....
That is just great! SUSE contains rsnapshot (I just had to go and install it immediately and start learning). Now if the great SUSE developers would have just more time and maybe implement a YaST GUI for that, you could suddenly have a SUSE Time Machine! Maybe even before OS X will have it. (Ok, yes, the OS X GUI for it is ... how should I put it... lot's of eye candy. You could get the job done with less of that I'm sure :-) -- HG. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
