There is a patch for the ext3 that allows for transparent compression but seems to be a bit buggy and unreliable by all accounts. Does anyone know of any way that I can run a 'live archive' through samba of compressed data?

Other than using backuppc, I'm drawing a blank...
 
It would seem that now even backuppc has forsaken me!

BackupPC no-longer works with CentOS 5.2 - Some of the dependencies need to be rolled back to the point where you're better off finding the disks for 5 rather than tackle any possible inconsistencies
 
Thanks, hadn't come across Btrfs before. I'll do a bit of reseach on those and see where that gets me. I've got a few plans that will buy me some time so I may simply wait for something to come along and migrate when it does.
