I need backup software for a home network.  Mix of Linux and OSX machines.
 Will be using an external HDD for backup media.  The backup server will run
on one of the OSX machines, since it's the only non-laptop I have.  I'm
mainly looking for something that's easy to configure and has minimal
resource consumption.

I like the rsync option for backup purposes. I'm not sure if it'll
work for your setup. I've been using it to keep my web servers safe
and stored on my local network from their remote machine locations.
Plus, with rsync being command line, it should be very easy to write
shell scripts for it.

I'm sure it would work. But honestly, I don't want to write all those scripts. I think it's probably already been done by others who have considered more cases than I'm likely to think of.

DIY is cool when you're interested in the project, but I'm not that interested in this. I just want something I can fire up and get my machines backed up with minimal effort.

thanks,
alex
