Re: Backups
For my desktop I usually use BackInTime, which has a really good GUI for rsync and hardlinks (to prevent disk waste) in a similar way that Apple does with TimeMachine ... I have set it to save to an external HDD with the autoremove feature keeping a smart schedule to drop the older files. Really easy to use, good GUI, fast to restore, crontab, textual config file under ~/.config ... Have in mind, it has nothing to do with a full feature backup solution for a server / enterprise / datacenter 2011/4/20 Laurent Dinclaux > > > 2011/4/20 James Gray > >> I've always been a big "Bacula" fan.

There's a *really* good Webmin module for it and if you absolutely must have a dedicated GUI try "bat" (Qt-based Bacula front end). I've been using Bacula for quite a few years in both professional and personal duties using various backup media (DVD, HDD, Tape - including autoloaders) to/from multiple systems and never had any problems.

Hello! I'm doing a bit of research for my proposal for Ubuntu Desktop to install the GNOME-based Déjà Dup backup tool by default. (btw, please cc: me) I get the sense that command line backup methods are thick on the ground. Is there a backup tool that the Ubuntu Server project recommends? Is the program duplicity [1] (upon which Déjà Dup is based) well regarded in the server community? I'm curious if there is any mindshare overlap at all.
