hmmm. ok, how about a combo. use dd as the initial tool and rsync as the update
tool (update from the /dev/. THis might be something I need to
experiment with to see if it works like I expect it to.

Which reminds me - use ddrescue instead. That will copy everything, skipping
bad blocks.

btw, there is a utility called Parchive that will make it a lot harder to lose
data in an archive. it contains built in recovery routines. I used it a long
time ago on some backups and when a chunk of them became corruptd, Parchive was
able to recover the whole lot. Sure, it's going to make your

for bare metal backup I use REAR(Relax and Recover) along with fsarchiver
REAR can make iso files or make a bootable flash drive
fsarchiver is like tar, but it can recreate the filesystem too.
also if the archive is corrupt, you olny lose the one file, not the whole
archive.

store that way.

+1 on the hard links. I do the same thing and depending on the type of
data and size of files you can keep hundreds of backups in a fairly
negligible space, and the best part is that every single backup appears
on the system as a complete backup so you don't have to worry about
merging any kin

I've always found backuppc an excellent solution though maybe a little
heavy handed for just a home office.

I am looking for a recommendation on backup software. I have a backup
server and I have two local machines and one remote machine to backup (all
Debian or Ubuntu - no Windows machines to worry about). The backup server
is just command line Debian - no gui - since I only use ssh to talk to it.

I highly recommend Crashplan. It allows local backups as well as encrypted
backups in the cloud.

The idea's good. I installed it and tried it out, and may keep using

is a pretty glaring wart though. I had to grab the

moin moin,
I use a variety of tools for backups.
I'm re-evaluating my rsync snapshot tools.
I dislike rnsapshot's idea of time. When I want a daily snapshot, give me
a daily snapshot, don't silently fail because there haven't been enough
hourlies.
I liked backuppc, but it's been a while since
