My backups? The backup box NFS mounts all the partitions from the other
boxes that I want to backup, and I use cpdup. With UFS I used the
hardlink trick to create a daily snapshot. With HAMMER I just cpdup
to the same targets and create @@ softlinks to the snapshots.
The off-site backup at the moment runs cpdup over a ssh link to the
off-site backup box. That box is running linux so it uses the hardlink
trick. RSync would be reasonable there, and in fact I might switch
to it for the remote backups. But I far prefer using NFS/cpdup for the
LAN backups.
