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?
