If you have database dumps or big text files that aren't compressed, backuppc could be a big win. I think it is the only thing that can keep a compressed copy on the server side and work directly with a stock rsync and uncompressed files on the target hosts (and it can cache the block-checksums so it doesn't have to uncompress and recompute them every run). While it is 'just a perl script' it's not quite what you expect from simple scripting... -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
