what's wrong with rsync?
i'm heartily exploring backup methodologies and from what i can
tell, rsync sure looks like "the bomb".
any drawbacks? some good reason to NOT use it? something better?
i'll be backing up the usual stuff (/etc /home ... and
/var/backups with pg_dump output in them...)
apparently it does a remote diff somehow and then sends only the
parts that need changing? i can't imagine that it's possible to
compare two 1mb text files for differences without at least
sending one across the wires -- yet the manpage certainly has me
thinking that's what they claim it does. hmm?

DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #78 from USM Bish <bish@nde.vsnl.net.in>
:
Do you want to track the ERROR MESSAGES WHEN STARTING "X"
(using startx) but the screen scrolls by too fast... and then
you're in the GUI, and can't see the messages any more!
startx 1> startx.log 2>&1
This will dump a bunch of text to the file 'startx.log'.
View this later at your convenience.
