But with HDDs being cheap it's at least economically less painful to be able to make snapshot-type backups using hard links and rsync - either using the ready-rolled rsnapshot tool or a DIY equivalent. Mine has saved me anguish umpteen times already (e.g. stupid things like firefox on SWMBOs laptop arbitrarily deciding that I didn't want messages over 30 days old in any of the folders I visited ... grrr!). But I really should have the backups off-site from the main system :-| -- John Stumbles Procrastinate now!
