Getting pretty far off topic here, but backuppc
(http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/) is a very nice system that pretty
much takes care of itself after being set up, and since it pools all
duplicate file copes with hardlinks it would be efficient about multiple
copies of workspace and their mostly-duplicate pristine copies.
