I've had amanda backing up everything on my local network, 5 machines now, every night since around 1998. Once setup, all I have to do is read the mail it sends me when its done. Using 1 big HD with daily directories, I have 60 days to discover something is missing, and recover it. Some genuine real people use it like the New York state dept of health. CERN Lab. Been around for quite a long time now, it can reach across the net and back up a machine 500 miles away, if you want it to. That data will be encrypted in transit. Here, I have had a drive fail, gone to town for another, put a bare install on it, fire up restore, and half an hour later the system as it existed at roughly 3 AM this morning, is fully restored.
