* Package name : dbackup Version : 1.0.3 Upstream Author : David Parrish <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://www.dparrish.com/dbackup.html * License : GPL Description : disk-based client-server backup system (Perl) dbackup is a disk-based client-server backup system. It works on the principal that disks are cheaper and more reliable than tapes. Backups are started by cron probably on a daily basis by the client. The client backs up individual filesystems / directories with tar and sends the result to the server, which stores them in a simple tree-based directory structure. Restores are trivial, either by using the supplied restore client, or by simply copying the appropriate tar files off the server and uncompressing them. - Backup very large filesystems as long as you have the disk space - Works with very large numbers of servers / filesystems - No state is kept on the client, it's all on the server - Backup to multiple backup servers in round-robin - Configuration can be global or per-server - Authentication for client restores (optional) - Trivial procedure for restores - Daily / Full incremental backups Uses: - Perl version 5.005 or above is required, but much better performance will be seen with 5.6 or above. - Digest::MD5 -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.26-1-386 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US)
