Re: [PLUG] Quicksync for Linux?


You should ba able to get similar results by running rsync from your local files to your zip disk. Just stick all the commands in a shell script and have that script run by cron for you every so often.

Iomega provides a windows program called Quicksync. You define directories that you want to back up and a back up interval. At every interval, Quicksync checks the files in the defined directories and makes a copy (including the directory structure) onto a zip disk. It prompts you if a zip disk gets full and you end up with a copy of these directories that you can take and use anywhere. Great as a backup and a way to access the same data at multiple unlinked or offline locations.

Is there a similar program for Linux?
