This is s primitive question, but what is your most effective open source backup strategy for local saves? I use #rsync and find that file corruption in image files, PDFs, and text files plagues all of my backup locations.

@codeHaiku
Rsync should work. If you're having issues, you might look into using a different filesystem on the receiving computer(ZFS) and ensure you are using the right rsync flags.

@Demosthenes I use rsync -av --delete <source> <destination>. The problem is as a file gets corrupted on the source it is cascaded over to the destination.

@codeHaiku oh yeah, if it gets corrupted on the source then you're SOL with rsync.
