backup thoughts..

[bruce]

hi.

looking to be able to backup a number of machines running fed (and
possibly other linux flavors)

I'm considering some sort of agent process, where the owner/user can
define the dirs that the owner wants backed up. This kind of approach
would allow us to be able to track when things get backed up, as well
as what's getting backed up.

The downside of this, we don't want to backup all of the OS tree, but
at the same time, if a dev has created apps that toss stuff into the
"OS" tree, it might not get backed up, unless specified...

Thoughts/Comments

thanks
