I haven't had to maintain this kind of backup so I can't really answer this question, but you may want to look at Amanda, Bacula, and BackupPC, since these are more sophisticated alternatives to rsync. But to tell you the truth, I do not think they really satisfy all your requirements. Stefan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
