rsnapshot is tested on many UNIX-like OS

The philosophy behind rsnapshot is tha backups happen regularly and reliably only if fully automated
- rsnapshot handles the "how, what & where"
- cron handles the "when"
but wait, there's more
- speed & space efficiency approach that of incremental backups
- restores files as easily as from stand-alone backup
best installed from your Operating System's media/repositories - alternatively
- http://www.rsnapshot.org/downloads.html
essential - read their HOWTO

probably not feasible
- because Windows filesystems do not provide the required functions
cwRsync goes part way
