It's a 300 GB USB2 drive and rdiff-backup. :) You could do a similar thing to GoBack with any recent Linux kernel and inotify, actually. Create a series of snapshot directories that contain copies of every file. Use inotify to watch all changes. Every 15 minutes update the snapshots with the changed files. Or you might be able to hook it into rdiff-backup or something like it, to update only the changed files every 15 minutes, without needing to do full disk scans to find the changes. --=20 Jonathan Briggs eSoft, Inc. --=-7v1L48/GJlri/sMkAbji Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBDdRXPG8fHaOLTWwgRAl+7AJoD6fH6GrUNnYFw8LnbIyh/bibXiQCeKuMX rjsOROjMbMIqzbIUeurXUjU= =0otY -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-7v1L48/GJlri/sMkAbji--
