-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Either you are completely not getting the concept or your OS is not capable of this functionality. I haven't touched AIX since 1995 so I can't really say which.
So, again, I am suggesting you try rsnapshot. Either it will fail and prove that AIX can't do this or it will give you a functioning example of this backup concept to look at and decide if you want to do it differently.
