Yeah, the compression is nice and the pooling is /really/ neat. Rsnapshot has really nice snapshot directories on disk that I really like. I am not backing up any windows boxes and I don't have to deal with too many users, so the front end isn't a big deal to me (rsnapshot has no front end). Still, I'll have a look it might be worth switching to save the disk space.. dan
