I'm looking for backup software that doesn't back up the empty space on the drive. Also, I would like it to be able to make incremental backups. Dump (dd) seems to back up everything, empty or not. Not what I'm looking for. I looked at tar but am unsure about the incremental use. I've tried

I've used rsync through scripting to backup 60+ remote servers nightly. I used something by the name of Rsync Vault Manager (RVM). http://rvm.sourceforge.net/ I've written scripts before this, but this just made everything simple for me. Simple is good in my opinion. Thanks, Dan Lund It is

Ok, before anyone says something.. I know these are closed source. I'm fine with that although I realize some people aren't for understandable reasons. When the open source versions support the same features and performance with stability, I'll use it. I need to buy a new laptop and I'm going to

Intel. Intel has been providing specs for a long time, so drivers are in better shape. I've found getting effects or dual-head working on ATI and nVidia to be a pain. I've had good luck running compiz and beryl when it was around on my old HP laptop with an older nvidia card and the
