Claiming one is better than the other is in the eye of the beholder don't you think? - I think the point here is *what* exactly does SuperFan needs, from the title of the post I can see he's looking for a "backup" option, but does he refer to a pure backup solution or a source control solution?, I am sorry but for single backups I don't think rsync can be beaten, a single liner for a command that is already included in your box (hence my original question about what OS was he using) would be mostly effective.. Cheers.
