Hi David, Obviously, you're best placed to decide which backup strategies are best to use with your setup. With cvsup you can use refuse files which might be of use. It means that some parts of the tree are ignored when cvsup is run. The manpage describes the usage of them. Best of luck and may I wish you no data loss!
