Uhhhhhhhh, yesterday you said this about rsnapshot:

So, in the same *paragraph*, you said that you looked 
through rsnapshot's documentation and then asked how long it 
will take to make it handle your situation -- I think most 
people would assume you are talking about rsnapshot, right?

It seems you're equally interested in digressions since 
you're purposely going backwards in the discussion!  :-)

I'm certainly not going to hand-hold you through the 
decision-making process.  If you must know, I previously 
used an rsnapshot-like system, then unison, then rsnapshot. 
 Now I use the latter two.

Whether or not you feel the need to give up on "grep" and 
give a new method to try is of course your decision.

But, I should remind you that you posted the original 
question.  So you must have been looking for alternatives to 
your current situation...

So, you've never been to a TLUG meeting before, obviously? 
:-)  No, they are not private.

Perhaps you should re-read what Edward said to you on Friday:
