Side note, even if recycler acted well in
windows, accidental deletes are only half of my problem, accidental overwrites
being the other half.

Subject: LVM Snapshots and Samba
Shadow Copy
Ok, I am looking to set up Samba Shadow Copy, which, I
believe, requires LVM style snapshots. However when I am looking to set
up snapshots it seems that if I want three snap shots of a 10GB partition I
need a 30 GB partition to hold it. Is their no more elegant way?
For example if file X never changes why would I need four copies of X (Original
+ three snapshots)? What I want is something that looks at folder AI and
sees files X, Y, Z, & W, then at the next timed interval sees that Y has
changed (We will call it Y1) so now instead of making another copy of X, Y, Z,
& W it adds Y1 to the back up of folder AI with a time stamp. If I
have to make three full copies for three full restore points I think I would rather
just dump my rsynch off sight back ups across the net four times a day, or at
least make a local rsynch backup.
But alas, that defeats the purpose as I can not find any way
to integrate rsynch with Samba Shadow Copy. I have also looked at Samba
Recycler, but can not find anyone who can tell me how it integrates with
windows.
Thoughts?
