But not just something like dump/restore that globs all the files into one large file (a virtual tape). And not just a cpdup to the spare disk either. I'd like to find something that's a bit more intelligent, something which lets me easily get at older versions of files or restore an entire file system. Something which doesn't store multiple copies of the same file and which uses compression and maybe even encryption. If I can't find anything suitable, I may just start an open source project to do something like this.
