 Hi all, Ben.

 I'm currently installing a new CVS/Backup server in our corporation.=20
 I'm thinking about using boxbackup to replace our poor rsync+scp=20
 system. Our boxes are only BSD/Linux based, so no Windows adaptation=20
 will be necessary (thank God!). We have about 30 servers, 90%=20
 OpenBSD-based.

 Our system is snapshot-based, where every machine connects to the main=20
 backup repository at each time, syncing the files using incremental=20
 checks, checksums, preserving symlinks and permissions and backing up=20
 on a weeekly-directory basis (rsync's 'backup-dir' option) + regex=20
 exclusion of sockets and non-backupeable data.

 Will boxbackup suit my needs? Any Pros or Cons?

 For the community: What are your impressions about boxbackup? How=20
 stable is it until now?
=20

 Best Regards,
