Hi

I still don't think it addresses the problem, unless it's an incremental backup. If someone breaks into 'my' machine (the machine being backed up) then they can send rubbish data to overwrite the good backups can't they? This is the specific possibility I'm trying to protect myself against a bit.
Now that I remember, there was an article in one of the Linux Format issues where you could use Subversion to hold incremental, versioned, logged home directories.
Anyone tried it in general? Anyone tried it specifically for this kind of backup setup? (or anyone tried other version control software (git?) for this?)
Interesting thought. One problem would be that it's not automated (you would have to write a log)...
You can do ssh+svn:// so there might be a possibility of using ssh keys if you really wanted.
