Wow, a lot of replies. Thanks everyone, and keep them coming if you like. Incidently, all of you rsyncers really should take a look at dirvish and the others I mentioned in my first post. It sounds like you are redoing a lot of the work that they have done with the hard linking incremental stuff. Maybe I'll look into one of those more closely, but I like what Josh is saying about simplicity (hopefully it's not just irrational family bias). I will keep reading your posts and pondering what is the one true path for me, or something like that. Also, thanks for the hard drive recommendations. I actually just got an 80 GB one from some pricewatch company for $45 (unityelectronics.com). My best pricewatch experience yet, I chose their cheapest shipping option on Monday and it arrived yesterday!
