For years I have been using Dirvish. I am curious what else is being used for
network backups of predominately GNU/Linux hosts?
The only thing I really wish I had was differential storage. Traditional Unix
hardlinks is what Dirvish uses via options to `rsync`. I wish you could save
the network deltas Dirvish sends. Maybe snapshotting the LVM LV every day?
Anyone have `rsync` successfully copying extended filesystem attributes? I
have a Samba install configured to use extended attrs for the DOS attribute
flags, instead of allowing it to abuse the filesystem permissions.
