Hi All.
I'm currently testing out backing up data to a removeable medium by using
rsync & hard links (http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots was
good reading material) and while I'm very happy with the fact that it
doesn't require more disk space than a bit extra on top of the total amount
of the data that needs to be backed up (plus it's fully automated), I just
realised that if a file corrupts itself, unless someone told me about it
before an rsync took place so I can restore it, it would corrupt the entire
tree of hard links to the file, right?
Can anyone think of a work around to this problem? (other than backing up
the backup server to another box :))
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Gonzalo.
