Backuppc (http://backuppc.sourceforge.net) does compress, link and otherwise molest the files to to the tune of getting at least 5X more data on your backup drive (my real experience with a week's history of 25 machines online at once). However, it still presents a simple browsable point/click interface to restore files (or just download through the browser) and it has a concept of 'owners' for the different machines to control access through the web interface. -- Les Mikesell les@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
