[Box-Admins] Permissions

[Göran Krampe]

Hi all!

Yes, we used rsnapshot earlier, but all though it uses rsync (good for 
partial file changes) it ends up using hardlinks etc on the target and 
thus consumes quite a bit of space there.

For my local needs (laptop onto a USB vfat drive) I ended up picking 
Duplicity the other day. But either way we want a solution that 
transfers only modifications.

I would be happy with a solution that simply keeps an offsite "mirror". 
Rsnapshot gave us "history" too, and sure, if we can use it then it is 
probably a good choice. Ken suspected transfers were large, but I am 
unsure, I hope they are not and that it uses rsync for the actual transfer.

Currently I don't have a proper broadband, but if we set up something 
that can run "night time" off to people "home computers", then that 
should be enough I think. The reason we used a server that my former 
employer had was that it was also a Hetzner box so the connection was 
really good.

regards, Göran
