<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Team,</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">While the "rsnapshot" looks
good for our Nepal school/firewall/backup configuration, it assumes that
both the client and server are continuously running, which we know is not
true for the XO laptops themselves.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I am thinking of developing instead
a script that performs a once-a-day rsync to the schoolserver. This
would probably not be able to run at startup, but rather a cron job that
checks to see if the XO is connected to the school server, and has not
backed up today yet, and performs the "rsync" at that time.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Let me know if anyone else is working
on anything like this to avoid re-inventing the wheel.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Thanks</font>
