Remote backup of local server applying Rsnapshot So you want to keep backup and rsnapshot in sync over time and not just do a oneshot. AFAIK there's no easy way for that; rsync is probably the best you can get - or rename the folders manually. |

Remote backup of local server applying Rsnapshot Then why should rsync become confused? |

Remote backup of local server applying Rsnapshot So you actually want to merge the backup directories of one rsnapshot installation into the directories of another installation? Otherwise rsync/tar/whatever would be enough. |

Time synchronization of machines on LAN to GPS NTP server on the LAN UBUNTU 12.04 @NateLockwood: ntpd checks the server as often as needed: You don't have to tell it the interval. Please read the FAQ. The startup of ntpd is handled by your OS - typically it should "just work". |

Time synchronization of machines on LAN to GPS NTP server on the LAN UBUNTU 12.04ntpdate is not needed; ntpd can set the time at startup. |

Why is JFS so obscure? SUSE embraced XFS quite early as the default fs - much earlier than RH. |

Why is JFS so obscure? I don't remember JFS being the default fs for SUSE anytime; XFS was the default fs for some years (before ext4) though. |
