I like rdiff-backup, which gives incremental backups over rsync. Mark pgpHGlsB6HS3f.pgp Description: PGP signature
[gentoo-user] DebugFS
I see that DebugFS is getting mounted very early on in the boot sequence. I want to keep it enabled in the kernel, but not automatically mounted. What mounts it? How can I stop it? Thanks, Mark pgpZOmF3N5lI3.pgp Description: PGP signature

How can I stop it? In typical style, I solved it almost immediately after asking! /etc/init.d/sysfs mounts it. Mark pgpJzzY7PhUIy.pgp Description: PGP signature

[gentoo-user] Backing up my box
I've got an 8Gb Gentoo virtual machine that I'm working out a backup plan for. Since the disk space is pretty small, I'm thinking about just taking a full image of the disk for backups, rather than cherry-picking DBs, mail, etc. I'd like to take a full image every day (but only transfer the differences), which I'll store for a week. Does this sound like a reasonable enough approach? My initial thoughts were just to use rsync to grab everything. Would this be appropriate for this kind of backup? Is there a better tool to get the job done? Any suggestions appreciated, Mark pgpiK8jSvFEMX.pgp Description: PGP signature

I've started using rdiff-backup, it's really nice. Thanks a lot for the pointer! Mark pgpXtbxYMJBsn.pgp Description: PGP signature
