I run rsnapshot on a linkstation where it quietly does an hourly
backup of windows<br>
and linux machines.<br>
It does have a dangerous "feature" you need to be aware of. It
rotates everything<br>
(deleting the oldest backup) before it knows whether it has a good
next backup.<br>
If it fails several times in succession you can easily (and quietly)
lose your last<br>
good backup of everything.<br>
<br>

Have fun,<br>
