[LUG] rsync.net and offsite backups

 

Hi, does anyone know anything about/recommend/warn away from services
like rsync.net for off site backups. It appears pretty flexible and
allows you to use various encryption etc to protect your data.

Another question is there something i can extend rsync with or some
other backup tool so that it knows what local data has changed since
last backup, eg it maintains its own local list. My reasoning is that
it seems crazy comparing GBs of files over the net when often only a
few MBs have changed and a simple local list could save a lot of time
and bandwidth.

Many thanks

Robin
