in the last few weeks.

I should add that my disk hardware is slow - a hardware raid with 5400rpm
parallel ATA disks. I bought this particular raid because i was thinking
that the design goal for a disk-based backup system would be lots and
lots of space, and raid5 would make the 5400rpm disks fast enough.

This should work well. However, rsync currently doesn't copy
device file contents, it just mk
