Has anyone tried the BackupPC program
(http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/) under SME?
I've been running it on RedHat but don't see anything
that should make it difficult under SME (although a
generic http user authentication mechanism would help)
and it seems like a natural for many places where SME
would be used.
If you haven't seen it, it does backups of Windows or
unix boxes over the network onto the server's disk and
saves space by compression and identifying duplicate
files and keeping only one copy. It uses windows file
sharing for windows clients and thus needs no client side
software (but won't do a bare-metal restore either). It
provides a web interface so a user can browse through
(only) their own backups and either restore back to the
share or grab individual files, zip or tar archives through
the browser. Incremental runs are merged with the previous
full in this view so you can select any file based on the
time of the run. You can also do backups on demand
through the web interface which is nice for intermittently
connected laptops and it can send annoying email if you
haven't backed up in some specified interval.
