BackupPC is a high-performance, enterprise-grade system for backing
|
|
up Linux, WinXX, and MacOS PCs and laptops to a server's disk.
|
|
BackupPC is highly configurable and easy to install and maintain.
|
|
|
|
Given the ever decreasing cost of disks and raid systems, it is now
|
|
practical and cost effective to backup a large number of machines onto
|
|
a server's local disk or network storage. This is what BackupPC does.
|
|
For some sites, this might be the complete backup solution. For other
|
|
sites, additional permanent archives could be created by periodically
|
|
backing up the server to tape. A variety of Open Source systems are
|
|
available for doing backup to tape.
|
|
|
|
BackupPC is written in Perl and extracts backup data via rsync, or tar
|
|
over ssh/rsh/nfs. It is robust, reliable, well documented and freely
|
|
available as Open Source on SourceForge.
