Bluehost.com president Matt Heaton posted to his blog on the 20th of January about the pain of backups. Included in this post is information regarding the solution they have developed and plan to release; a kernel patch that creates a list of modified files which should be backed up. Matt claims that using this system has given Bluehost an increase of 10x over their previous method of creating backups.

They also plan on releasing the addon they are creating. Check out the post over on Matt Heaton’s blog.
