What do you server admins use for backup?

There's no difference here. How about your answer to both? And maybe why
there's a difference?
Sorry, Bzzzz, for personal reply instead of list...
We have a simple setup, and do a quick and a quick and dirty backup
system that does disk-to-disk backup from one server to another server
(with raided disks and DRBD to add some redundancy to the underlying
storage).
Main tools is backupninja
(https://labs.riseup.net/code/projects/backupninja) - with ninjahelper
gui (curses) for setting things up. It includes a number of scripts for
different backup schemes, we use:
- the mysql script to backup databases, followed by,
- the rdiffbackup script - which, pretty obviously, uses rdiffbackup for
the actual backup
For a larger installation, I might use something else - but we're
basically hosting lists, a few simple web sites, and a development
sandbox (where the code is backed up elsewhere).
