I've never used rdiff-backup before. Now that I'm reading the manual, it's definitely worth investigating. Looks like it has a lot of the same value-adds that svn has, including storing compressed & diff'd past versions... And although it doesn't make different versions available for manual diff (diff -rq), it does have a --compare argument. It also has --remove-older-than, which is a feature svn lacks. Thanks for the suggestion. Will give it a try. Although I'm surprised it doesn't have any comment capability. At first blush, it looks like maybe rsnapshot is better suited for local snapshot capabilities (on filesystems that support hardlinks and lack zfs & btrfs snapshots) ... while rdiff-backup might be the better solution for a versioning system that works on /etc _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list Tech@lists.lopsa.org https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
