I'm confused by your requirements. You say you want all the computers to have the same data, and then in the next breath you want to be sure that they don't have the same data when one of them is "compromised."Michaeljohn Clement wrote:On Wed, 2004-02-11 at 03:37, ALEJANDROLANDIM wrote:What type of data?At first I just want to have simple text files and binary files, but later I'd like to have databases (that would require modifying tla to work great with binary database tables)<snip>Yes, I'd like to have websites managed with tla using my proposed configuration.It sounds almost as if you are thinking of using Arch as a general-purpose incremental backup system, and replicating file system. Arch is designed for source code version control, and there's a chancethat you haven't found exactly the right tool for what you need to do. Probably there is such a tool, maybe if you can give a more explicitdescription of what you are interested in accomplishing, someone on this list can at least point you in the right direction.I could go with a system without branches but I need to keep all versions in a consistent state. An incremental backup system is not enough since that is not symmetrical, I want all the versions on all the computers and if some computer gets compromised it can't remove the version history from the other computers.
I think your problem here has nothing to do with the data duplication (which arch _may_ be able to help with, but it seems doubtful it's ideal for your application), but in defining when the data is "compromised."
What do you mean by that? Bob
