So to reduce load I'd like to have a script that:
identifies changed files only (using md5?) copies them and compresses them
storeBackup.pl does something similar, but keeps versions and creates hardlinks between them. (Is storeBackup in any CentOS repo? I know it from my SuSE box) Any ideas? Do I have to change storeBackup to my needs? (Would really hate that, because I'm not a Perl man)
Well, I'm using "rsync --link-dest" to do this. This article "http://www.rootprompt.org/article.php3?article=8976" had the principle but didn't use "--link-dest".
Well, but rsync doesn't compress, does it? So I would need to compress first and then rsync - meaning I need to keep the compressed files around twice.
