From a backup point of view, my goal...
On a nightly and automated basis - to take a snapshot of all new and modified data from a FreeBSD server and Windows server. Then compress and hopefully encrypt the data and send it to a remote FreeBSD server through some form of efficient and secure file transfer. Uncompressed the nightly data may total ~20MB.
It is worth to take a look at http://www.fluffy.co.uk/boxbackup/, which is a tool focusing on automated (`lazy') or snapshot backup. Supported are most unices, there is no FreeBSD-port however. A windows' client utility is work in progress, though usable via cygwin now. Its main advantages: * backups via encrypted streams, public key infrastucture * only modified parts are to be transported * preserving the overwritten or deleted files * quota-support * userland RAID-option
Have a nice day
