Wow...

I decided to give dirvish a whirl (pun intended!) on a couple of home 
machines just to see how it did, and I'm impressed. 

That's really damn cool.

I just decided to set up a cronjob for that and leave it running on the 
internal big disk machine -- now it'll grab snapshots of the other two 
boxes nightly. 

Slick.  We'll see how it handles errors and dumb stuff like machines 
being off, etc... over time...
