Today's task is to identify the best method for my backup needs. I want to take a day's work and archive it into existing directories on a server diskA, having first rsync'd server diskA and server diskB. Part one - making a script to create the second generation backup onto diskB - is not a big problem. What is a bigger problem is what to use for the second part. Rsync does not seem to be the right tool for this. I don't want all the older stuff copied back onto the workstation, I just want the new stuff added to the archive. I'm mainly thinking of a photo archive. I'm going to take a look at rdiff-backup, but would be interested to hear of any other suggestions to follow up. BTW, I'm 800ft above sea-level, and out of reach of katrina ;-), but I'd still be burning CDs at regular intervals. Anne
