Are there any good tools to backup/restore databases, with versioning,
delta storage and so on just like you get with rdiff-backup? I'm
currently running mysqldump and pg_dump in a shell script via cron
job, but surely there's a better way. I've seen a few tools, but what
do people on the list recommend?
the closest we have is backupninja - its just a shell wrapper that saves
having a million different shells scripts.
So you make a dump with it and then rdiff that dump directory. That
works pretty well for us (having had to do lots of restores using it).

"Backupninja allows you to coordinate system backup by dropping a few
simple configuration files into /etc/backup.d/. Most programs you might
use for making backups don't have their own configuration file format.
Backupninja provides a centralized way to configure and schedule many
different backup utilities."
I know thats not what you were after, but this is the better way to
manage backups we are using now...
thanks
