Check into Bareos, which is a 100% F/OSS fork of Bacula. That said, if I were building a backup server now, it would likely be a FreeBSD box w/ a big 'ol ZFS filesystem. I'd rsync my various servers into folders on the backup server and then take a ZFS snapshot after each rsync. This achieves something similar to what you'd get with rsnapshot, but with the advantage of being able to use the more advanced features of ZFS: end-to-end data verification and healing (bit rot detection), snapshots, zfs send/receive (quite useful for when you want to ship your backups offsite), compression, etc. -Erik [1] http://www.bareos.org/en/faq/items/why_fork.html -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
