Big news everybody! Yesterday we finally unveiled an open source innovation we've been working on under the radar for the last year now. TKLBAM (TurnKey Backup and Migration) is a new kind of smart, fully automated, system-level backup and restore facility powered by Amazon S3.
http://www.turnkeylinux.org/blog/announcing-tklbam Fully automating the backup and restore process makes it practical for the first time to easily test backups "in the cloud", and migrate full systems (e.g., servers) anywhere in minutes regardless of the underlying hardware or location. That's not hyperbole BTW, and we have a screencast to prove it (or you can just try it). Example usage scenarios: * migrate a local deployment to a cloud server * migrate a cloud server to any other cloud server (or VPS) * migrate a virtual machine to bare metal * migrate from an Ubuntu Hardy based appliance to a new installation based on Ubuntu Lucid * migrate from Debian to Ubuntu * migrate from from 32-bit to 64-bit In a nutshell, we designed this as our ideal backup system. Imagine a fully automated backup and restore system with no pain. That you don't need to configure. That just magically knows what to backup and, just as importantly, what not to backup, to create super efficient, encrypted backups of changes to files, databases, package management state, even users and groups. TKLBAM is licensed under the GPL3.
