That's more sane.

Clearly, however, you want to use inotify or similar to get information
about changed files immediately when they change, so you could do something
approaching real-time rolling backups.

Now you just have to implement it.  :-)

Of course, it would be extremely cool to run on a file-system with
meta-data and file data journaling, and then hook into the journal and
stream it off to another system for near real-time change information.

Thanks,
Sean
