That's definitely why I am liking the Mac platform better every day.
I just have to wean myself of my tendency to do things the hard way.
I LOVE do do things the hard way (if you couldn't tell already).

With RsyncX I want to see if I can set up a daily incremental backup
with a weekly or monthly clone -- then test it out with a full,
bare-metal restore.  If I can get that to work, it would be the best
of both worlds.
