Well, did you look at SafeKeep? http://safekeep.sourceforge.net/ It's based on a central server that contacts linux clients to backup the data. It automatically handles LVM snapshots, DB dumps (for MySQL and Postgresql), uses nice(1) and ionice(1) to avoid overloading the clients and the server, and does everything over ssh for security. One drawback is that it doesn't currently work for Windows clients, but there's nothing in the design preventing it to do so. -- Dimi Paun d...@lattica.com Lattica, Inc. ___ rdiff-backup-users mailing list at rdiff-backup-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/rdiff-backup-users Wiki URL: http://rdiff-backup.solutionsfirst.com.au/index.php/RdiffBackupWiki

You can certainly do this with a package such as (for Windows) TimeDicer http://www.timedicer.co.uk. This uses rdiff-backup with ssh connection managed by plink. But this is for 'push' backups - the clients contact the server and send backups. Works well with a primary server on the local network, and offsite mirror server for belt'n'braces protection.

[rdiff-backup-users] Daemon VS ssh
Is it possible to use rdiff-backup like rsync-daemon? I mean, instead of using an ssh tunnel, could it be possible to connect to a rdiff-backup deamon that do no use encryption like rsynd does? it would be easy to configure on windows host. So we could have a central backup server that connects to clients that are running the deamon. Also encryption is not always required. In these casees it's just a waste of resoruces. What do you think about it? ___ rdiff-backup-users mailing list at rdiff-backup-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/rdiff-backup-users Wiki URL: http://rdiff-backup.solutionsfirst.com.au/index.php/RdiffBackupWiki
