I checked out BackupPC and my only complaint is that it uses SAMBA to
backup. The data we have to backup we want to keep somewhat hidden, i.e.
no Windows Shares...
I'm looking into Backula at this point, since it has a "Windows
Client"...Anyone used/tried this?

Hi Roy,
I use and really like BackupPC. It works great for clients of all
kinds, and supports many protocols for backing up clients (samba, rsync,
rsyncd, tar (over ssh). It also has a pretty nice web interface
(requires a web server) to help you restore files. It does pretty much
everything you asked for :)

I'm working with a non-profit and am trying to come up with a backup
solution with OSS. Here are the specifics
10 Windows XP machines
1 Linux Samba Linux Server
1 Mac (OSX) client
1 Backup Server
1 NAS (for backup storage)
Backup side:
Disk backup as opposed to tape backup
Automated solution - minimal interaction as there is no sysadmin on site
Incremental/Full/Current Data Protection (In Use Files), Bare Metal
restore a plus but not needed
Push/Pull configuration
Client side:
Client side configuration in addition to admin configuration (user
should be able to add to what is being updated)
Client side file restore
Client side initiated backup
We need a solution that is cross platform as you can see. We want to use
Linux (most likely CentOS) for the backup server. I've been looking at
Amanda/Zmanda and Backula. I'd like suggestions on these or any other
OSS solutions.
TIA,
Roy
I'll throw in a vote for BackupPC, especially if you're dealing with
Windows clients.
