Yes, I am. I actually have a couple of things going on, which I'll
describe, though if there is a fix in CVS that should get rid of these
problems....
I have two servers, home and away. Every night home (which has a
webserver on it) backs up the httpd directory (on /dev/sdaX) as
address@hidden to address@hidden Then later on at night away backs up *back*
to home (a strange situation come about through losing a remote host
that I used to back up to). So the second set of activities is that
address@hidden backs up a bunch of stuff on away, (including the directory
that the first backup backed up to), to address@hidden (to my RAID5 array
and a separate directory of course). Not the most elegant situation, but
there is redundancy, and the data will be *somewhere* (high standards
huh? :)
I'll wait for the next release and hopefully that will fix this all up.
Either that or I need a more sane way of doing backups!
