I don't know of anything that does this, but I'm also not really sure what the point is. I'd have thought that more useful would be a backup taken every hour, say, so that you can easily revert human-error sorts of problems. There's several tools for that sort of thing. The life expectancy of SD cards is such that I'd expect it to fail long before your (presumably) spinning-platters primary disk if you're writing the same data to both, so it's not particularly good protection against hardware failure, either, except insofar as the chance of one of the SD cards failing at the same time as the primary disk is still relatively low. -- Avi -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
