I might have asked about this before but I'll ask again anyway. Does any one know of a good backup program for Linux? I am not using tapes\tape drives, only usb hard drives attached to do my backups. I have tried fsbackup and it fails at certain points so I'm thinking that I should probably start looking at something more commercially proven. I've been pouring over these two links below to get some idea of whats out there and would like to hear what you good folks out there recommend? Thxs.
I use backuppc to do backups to hard disk of several computers over the network, it can also backup the machine that it's running on, although right now I'm still using a home-grown rsync based backup implementation for that. It's more targetted to backing up to non-removable (or at least more-or-less permanently mounted) drives since backups happen according to a schedule, but I think that it could be configured to only do backups upon request. It's FOSS, runs on Linux, backs up Linux and brand M machines, and has a very nice web-based ui. -- Rick DeNatale IPMS/USA Region 12 Coordinator http://ipmsr12.denhaven2.com/ Visit the Project Mercury Wiki Site http://www.mercuryspacecraft.com/ -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/
