Hi Fred, > I know there's rsync, which may be a good solution. I also find backupPC > at epel, backintime also at epel, kbackup. I am using backuppc here to backup 5 servers to a dedicated backup-machine. In parallel, I am using http://storebackup.org/ . Storebackup uses hard links to reduce space requirements. I have to say that backuppc has the nicer restore tool. best regards --- Michael
