Bacula is pretty nice too. Back up Windows, Linux and OS X machines to a central location,
automate tape rotations etc.

Complex to set up but handles a lot :-)

But awk! I think you have fortitude!

Nice.

But for a network backup, I don't you think rsync would do the job better (faster) than tar?

Hi!

For any interested admins, below is a link to the home page of a set of

backup system:

Enjoy!


Cheers,

PS:

This is not in the documentation but you need to have gawk installed as a prerequisite - usually it should come with your UNIX installation so you might not need to do anything but you may need to download and install it.

Secondly, with FreeBSD, you may need to change the first line to read

#! /usr/local/bin/gawk -f

Instead of the default which is

#! /usr/bin/awk -f
