Hello Bill long time no talk. I'm finally get around to making
backups of my home computer and home server. the first script I'm
looking at is creating backups on the machines which houses original
files. It uses tar to do this.
Next would be the house the backups in the opposite computer. But like
my subject line indicates my first issue has to do with size.
The home server houses a photo gallery with 13000 pictures and a
blog. Should the number of files have any bearing on the choice of
backup?

Hey Bruce:
How's my favorite Trinidadian doing?
There are file system experts that can debate the fine points of how to
store data endlessly. I've used rsync for about fifteen years every day
in an automated scripting environment and it has worked flawlessly. I
still verify backups and things once a week, but I can't complain at all.
