I was a bit surprised to find that BackupPC
does not seem to be available on my CentOS-5.2 system.

I got it from the testing repo. I use it to back up Windows servers to my Linux server.

What do people use to backup Centos systems?

To back up the Linux server, I use dump and direct the output to a file on a removable USB drive formatted as ext3. I rotate drives the way one might rotate tapes.

I've been using dump since 1989, when I had a Sun 386i.

Both BackupPC and dump have their own support infrastructure.
