Re: [slim] UK portable Flac players
PS: I agree that in most of the environments that a pmp is used, background noise is far more important than MP3 vs FLAC. That's why I'm happy to use my Sony Ericcson W800i phone to play MP3s, when I don't have the Rio Karma with me. PPS: I use Sennheiser PX-100 headphones with both players. -- darrenyeats Monarchy CLD-M401 transport or SB3 - Sony DAS-703ES DAC - Krell KAV-300i - PMC AB-1 (home-made room treatments and supports) darrenyeats's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10799 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=37864 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

See http://flac.sourceforge.net/links.html#hardware and scroll down a bit... Personally I have a Rio Karma.

Re: [slim] How do YOU backup your music?
Robin Bowes;214209 Wrote: You have got it wrong! Curse that send button! Er, thank you. I think I'm going to stick with unison for the time being because what I'm after is a kind of mirror function (without using RAID) rather than a backup tool per se. Space is (going to be) tight on both the disks. Perhaps I can configure rsnapshot to act like a mirror? In which case it will be slightly better than unison - as someone pointed out, it removes even the theoretical chance of propagating changes in the wrong direction. So, if I configured rsnapshot to keep only one generation of backup, would it remove / rename files for me like unison? And never use more storage than the original files?

Fletch;189354 Wrote: And with unison, it's twice as scary. Unison is basically a two-way rsync so if the backup somehow gets destroyed those changes will be propagated back to the main storage. 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.

Re: [slim] How do YOU backup your music?
All, I recommend unison file synchronizer. It works on all platforms - and even between platforms as I understand it. I am on Linux. This should be available as a package for your distro - it certainly is with Debian. Works a charm: 1. Read The (unison) Manual 2. Set up your stuff in ~/.unison/default.prf and you can invoke it as 'unison -batch' to sync your main dir with the backup dir. unison deals with any changed, new or deleted items - it just syncs the dirs exactly.
