That is an interesting project. I wonder if TimeVault and retrospekt could share a common backend. That would be a lot of work, though it would make for an interesting result. I wouldn't mind having a desktop-antagonistic backup solution.

I like this sort of, I am using a separate dir
(/home/.private/.snapshots/...) for my backups using retrospekt, but
like the timevault using inotify. This is great, snapshoting just a file
when it needs it. I like that. I do like retrospekt's timeline in
konqueror tho.

What would be great is the possibility of using that directory for my
snapshots, then mirroring them to my usb drive when it is plugged in in
teh office. Or maybe when I plug in the usb drive it makes a monthly, or
weekly snap plus mirroring the currently snaps.

If an external drive is used for backups, Timevault will write backups if the drive is not present
