I would suggest you use rdiff-backup, and make a backup to some other machine, preferably in another building. To get encrypted transfer, use ssh. To make it even better use lvm2 to make a snapshot of the file system before you backup. The advantage of rdiff-backup is that it creates a copy of the latest version of your file system, and then creates diffs so that you can create older version. This means that you can restore tha latest version of a file just by plain old copying. It also means that you can store the diffs on CD or DVD and then remove them from yor backup machine. It handles both ACLs and extended file properties. Regerds Uno Engborg
