Just got some spam from these guys. Supposedly you dump your network
configuration in to this package and it outputs a visio diagram. Anyone
know if this actually works? Cost is about $1500 but if it did what they
claim I might be interested.
Any comments would be appreciated.
Thanks
Scott

Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] linux directory backup with symlinks
Hello,
I've got a directory a du -sh on it shows it's 330 mb in size. This
is on a centos 5.3 box. It has directories, regular files and symlinks in
it. This shows what happens when i'm working late, brain goes to mush. I
want to back it all up symlinks and all making an exact copy for archival
purposes. I've tried some tar commands -cpf and -chpf but those gave me
different archive sizes, when i uncompressed the folder it was larger or
smaller than the original and not by a little bit either there was a 5 mb
difference in one case, a 35 mb in another, i'm assuming the symlinks are
the snagpoint, and that tar is creating hard links. I thought about rsync
but didn't think it archived, pax i don't know.
Suggestions welcome.
Thanks.
Dave.
