Re: file backup and DR

[Matthew W. Ross]

I don't know what you mean by "DR". If you mean drive imaging, this tool might 
not be the one for you.

Check out BackupPC. http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/

It's web-based, performs backups by rsync or smb. Built-in per-file 
data-deduplication. Requires a linux server. Building it from source can be a 
handle, but pre-compiled versions are available in Debian and Ubuntu 
repositories. ('sudo apt-get install backuppc' and you're done.)

file backup and DR

[Miguel Gonzalez]

Hi,

  I´m looking for a free or open source tool to do file backups and system DR 
backups all in one.

  I found Drive XML and seems to do the job but before start installing and 
evaluating other software.

  My intention is to backup 3-4 machines at home and have a backup of our files 
and a DR just in case we need to reinstall.

  It doesn´t seem that there is any free or open source tool that fit the bill. 
Or they are just for file backups or just for DR backups (normally through a 
live CD or PXE).

  If I have to go for a commercial tool, at work we have tested BESR from 
Symantec and have those two things for a cheap price and also allows to recover 
an image of a machine over a different hardware.

 Anyone knows about any free or open source tool?


  Miguel
