[CentOS] Still considering backup utilities

2015-07-15 Thread m . roth
I hear that backuppc does *not* have a native *Doze client. On the other
hand, I know amanda's been around a long time, and it does. Opinions on
amanda, folks?

It works for me.  I have three USB disks which are configured as 10
tape slots on each.  I back up every few days to the disk, and about
once a month take the disk into work and bring the oldest one back.
Obviously the disk at home doesn't protect me against fire or theft,
but it does protect against disk failure.

HTH,

Martin

Amanda works great in a Linux environment. I have not used Amanda's *Doze
client, only mildly using smbclient, so I don't know if there are issues
there. I don't presently have any MS-Windows machines that need regular
backups.

Our environment's a bit larger - I think we're talking about at least a
dozen or so WinDoze boxen, and I don't know if my manager will want to do
the rest of the Division if it works out, but

It is simple to set up a rsyncd server under Cygwin / WinX to feed
BackupPC. I normally install full cygwin to access rsyncd, but there
is a limited client available.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/backuppc/files/cygwin-rsyncd/3.0.9.0/

From the readme:

Download and run cygwin-rsyncd-3.0.9.0_installer.exe to install rsyncd
on your WinXX client for doing BackupPC backups.

At one time, the prepacked rsyncd client did not work on Win7 and later,
but I think that was fixed. Otherwise, install full cygwin and follow
the instructions for the prepacked rsyncd client.

Good point about cygwin derrivatives.  Would mobaxterm handle rsync
OK?  The only reason I ask is that it certainly works with Win7.

That was my home setup - hence taking the disk *into* work.  Amanda
scales well though, it was designed to handle a university's
(Maryland) network.  You ought to be good for several hundred machines!

BTW - don't top post goes back to newsgroups and text mode readers
of the 1990s.  Most most modern software naturally leads to top
posting which enables the reader to view replies in the preview screen
without the need to scroll down.  If a thread is bottom posting, I
bottom post.  If it's top posting I top post.  If I'm the first to
reply I choose.
