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.
