hello wht,


quick question: what do you use to backup your server? We had very nice piece of software, but now because of hight loads have to change it. Maybe you can recommend anything?
(simply need data to be transfered to another, backup server)
(have linux boxes, centos 3.5)
(maybe you have any own script? wanna share?)

thank you for time :)

We use http://www.rsnapshot.org/ which is a great script that utilizes rsync and creates one full backup then incremental backups based on a timeframe you specify (such as daily, weekly, monthly, etc.)

Using rsync and hard links, it is possible to keep multiple, full backups instantly available. The disk space required is just a little more than the space of one full backup, plus incrementals.

We're using BackupPC, which works very well.

Acronis TrueImage..

Very good and dependable

i found http://bobs.sourceforge.net/
Interesting how does this thing works :/

RaviAgarwal,
Does the Acronis Trueimage work with Linux? When I did a quick search on their site, it came back with a lot of hits for Acronis Server for Linux... at $700 and none for Trueimage.
