Quite frankly, you're giving yourself more work than is 
necessary.

Say that today, you start the new system.  You don't migrate 
the old system.  You keep that up until yesterday.  Thanks 
to the hardlinks, you will only use 2 times *additional* 
space -- one time for the old system and one more time for 
the new system.

In a few years' time, the old system will no longer be 
needed, so erase that.

Why spend time migrating to a new system?  It's like DVDs 
replacing VHS tapes and hesitating to release DVDs because 
then you will have to convert all the old VHS tapes to DVDs. 
 What manufacturers did was release the DVDs anyway and, in 
time, the VHS tapes phase out...

(In fact, rsnapshot phases out old snapshots automatically. 
 The older it is, the less frequently they are kept.  It's 
generally the same principle.)

Ok, don't worry about using the wrong term!  I see what you 
mean.

Again, I think Edward's reply was quite clear.  You will 
need to see what you would like and ask him to get in touch 
with the person who gave the talk.  What you see on the web 
site is all there is...there are no hidden documents.  [I'm 
not saying this as a TLUG admin, but as someone who once 
gave a talk and no one asked me for what I presented.]

Moreover, if someone gave a technical talk, I don't think 
TLUG "owns" the materials.  So, if you're thinking you can 
just go to TLUG and download things and translate them 
without asking the person who made them, then you might be 
making a mistake...
