Linux and data storage?

[Sean M McMahon]

I didn't know that about rsinc.  I always thaught you'd have to use cvs 
for that kind of backup.  Informative indeed.

Just to finish up on backup strategies:

The first backup is the big chore. But, it's not the last word--unless,
of course, one never changes one's data. Not likely.

So, a backup routine is the real target.

rsync is the right tool especially for the backup routine because it
intelligently copies only those portions that have changed. Very
effective, especially on low bandwidth connections.
