Hi all, I use Bacula as my backup app. And are the best program of all I think. http://www.bacula.org/en/
It's text based but very straight forward and very well documented This program saved my data when an server upgrade failed and I had to reinstall every thing So restoring data works! I know. :-) Regards /Thobbe -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] För Kim Cascone Skickat: den 29 januari 2009 15:16 Till: [email protected] Ämne: studio backups I've been researching that blind spot in the Linux community: a decent backup app and have read various people recommending tar, dd, dump, rsync, partimage, clonezilla, etc etc each person has their favorite way to do backups and each is woefully lame in offering a concise step by step HOWTO the road of FOSS is littered with half-baked apps that get crap support by their disinterested developers I've tried most of these apps but none of them seem to have the exact set of features I'm looking for ease of use, ability to cron, flawless backups, informative error reporting, etc. I am using an app that I like <somewhat> called QuickStart QS is basically a script that provides a front end for partimage and tar and while it backs up my two partitions ('/' + '/home') with tar my '/home' partition (/dev/sda5) gives an error message with QuickStart/partimage so I've been using QuickStart/tar for my 2 partitions with some success I say 'some success' because I have yet to test them by restoring them there is also Grsync, and Simple Backup which both have their plusses and minuses neither of which seemed ready for prime time I'm still waiting to test clonezilla which seems promising - and seems to be a favorite among the more demanding users anyway, I know that backing up is still a black art in Linux-land for some reason so I wanted to ask people here what they use for backing up their precious audio and session files... q: what is your favorite backup app and why? -- Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users -- Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users
