Jorge, Right now, at least with Windows vms, rdesktop is a way better way of accessing the vm - it's fast, it let's you share directories, clipboard sharing, sound etc. Spice will probably catch up with it fast though, I hope. Also I have noticed spice works better when there is additional software installed (sort of like vbox additions); in Centox you have spice-vdagent or something like that, but for Windows you need to build the driver yourself[1]. But we need to keep in mind that rdesktop and spice are not really in the same category. With spice you access the host machine, while with rdesktop you access the virtual machine directly. Spice wants to compete with vmware view and citrix xendesktop. [1] - http://spice-space.org/page/WinQXL ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

You need to script your way around it. One thing I can advise is to use rdiff-backup, this one is based on rsync and can create full-paths, as well as incremental backups (e.g. you could restore a file and see how it looked 2 weeks ago). Rdiff-backup should be available from RPMForge. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
