On mac & windows, I'm accustomed to Time Machine and Acronis. Key features are: . Run in the background, low priority, no complaints from user about performance. . Daily (or more frequent) incrementals . Able to specify excludes . Able to restore whole system, or just a few individual files . User doesn't need IT assistance to restore a few individual files
I'm willing to compromise on the last two points, and *maybe* even compromise on the excludes. But there can be no compromise on the first two points. I'm trying to find a suitable, similar backup solution for linux (ubuntu desktop in particular). Up till now, the best I've done is dump (ext4 filesystem.) Unfortunately, even when I nice dump to the fullest extent, it's still too resource intensive. Users complain tremendously, as long as it's running. Any suggestions for alternatives? _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
