Hey, > I'm presently using rsync over ssh, but I think dump would be better if it > will work. I've been reading the man page, but I'm wondering if anyone is > doing this successfully and would like to share their cmdline. Are doing backups to disk? I find rsync combined with hard links to be quite efficient and easy to manage/restore. Checkout Mike Rubel's article [1] if you haven't seen it already, he explains it well. I find Rsnapshot [2] quite useful/easy for small installations. There is also Dirvish [3] which might be worth looking at. Both use the same concept. Hope this helps, Andrew.
