I'm looking for the following. Can anyone suggest something OR if nothing exists, can people offer me quotes to write it?

( 1) It will backup from multiple servers to a single file server
(1A) It can backup daily, weekly, monthly both full and incremental. See # 4 below.

(2) Multiple servers can be scheduled

(3) Clients (the owners of the multiple servers) have an interface that they can use to access the file server to restore lost, corrupted or deleted files from their server.

(4) It can be configured per server that it backs up so that each server to be backed-up can have different setups...IE one uses RH 7.1 and Cpanel, another has FreeBSD and psoft, another is a blank RH 7.2 machine.

For now, this is all I can think of. Questions? Post here.

Ok, no one can;

(1) Offer a suggestion

or

(2) No one wants to make some money...this is a first.

how much money are we talking about? :D Its not a simple task.

I don't know, someone needs to tell me what they think it's gonna cost and if they can do it.

All you need to do is set up a NFS partition on the file server so that each server has a partition and can access their NFS partiton. Then, just use rsync in your crontab to sync up the files in whatever increment you need. It really isnt that difficult of a plan to accomplish.

If you choose the NFS method, be very wary of the NFS server being stable. In an NFS configuration, if the server for some reason disconnects from the network (ie: a lockup, or reboot), while the NFS shares are still mounted you will sometimes encounter lockups on the NFS clients. As for the custom development - I would be happy to assist you with this, and could probably have it finished in roughly a week. If you would like to talk more about it please let me know, either email or UnLeatAdam on AIM will work.
