Hourly, daily, weekly, two-hourly backups, everything is possible. <BR/><BR/>I actually wrote GPB before becoming aware of rsnapshot. The day I finished GPB (used in for production backups at my job) a friend mentioned rsnapshot to me. <BR/><BR/>The only thing I'd like to change about rsync is that it would be nice to save chunks of files and not the entire modified file. Backup up daily .pst files that are +1GB tends to eat away at your backup space ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
