[geeks] Cheap/reliable backup?

[Patrick Giagnocavo]

Well, thinking about it:

You could use another checksumming tool, to checksum at the file level, right?  That is, determine that the local copy and remote file are the same.

Say tripwire, aide or even rsync (detect if there is a change between remote copy of files in snapshot and local copy of same files in snapshot).

For rsync, something like "rsync -rvnc --delete website/ user at remotehost.com:/home/projects/website/"  might do it, with the -n meaning "dry run, do not do anything".
