But this is often easier said than done, especially in the world of expensive, restrictive, overly-complex proprietary backup applications. But, as usual, Free software takes a sensible, user-friendly approach to backups and recovery. Deann Corum shows us how to get started with Bacula, the powerful backup and recovery application that supports both tape and disk storage.

Back Up Linux And Windows Systems With BackupPC

01/28/2007  
Relevance: 7.80
This tutorial shows how you can back up Linux and Windows systems with BackupPC. BackupPC acts as a server and is installed on a Linux system, and from there it can connect to all Linux and Windows systems in your local network to back them up and restore them without interfering with the user's work on that system. On the clients minimal to no configuration is needed. BackupPC supports full and incremental backups, and it comes with a neat web frontend for the administrator and normal user so that backups and recoveries can be managed through a web browser. It should be noted, however, that BackupPC does file-based backups, not bit-wise backups like Ghost4Linux, for example, so it is not made for disk/partition imaging.

Relevance: 7.65
File backups are a key element for every user and on every computer. Whether it be an office setting or a home desktop machine, backups are essential - your hard drive will fail at some point; you will need a backup, and you'll be kicking yourself if you learn this lesson the hard way. Linux users have usually resorted to CRON and Rsync to manage their backups - until now. TimeVault finally offers a complete, easy-to-use, intuitive backup system for Linux.

Creating Encrypted FTP Backups With duplicity And ftplicity On Debian Etch

12/19/2007  
Relevance: 7.17
When you rent a dedicated server nowadays, almost all providers give you FTP backup space for your server on one of the provider's backup systems. This tutorial shows how you can use duplicity and ftplicity to create encrypted (so that nobody with access to the backup server can read sensitive data in your backups) backups on the provider's remote backup server over FTP. ftplicity is a duplicity wrapper script (provided by the German computer magazine c't) that allows us to use duplicity without interaction (i.e., you do not have to type in any passwords).

This guide describes how to back up and recover your MySQL databases with mysql-zrm on a Debian Sarge system. mysql-zrm is short for Zmanda Recovery Manager for MySQL, it is a new tool that lets you create full logical or raw backups of your databases (regardless of your storage engine and MySQL configuration), generate reports about the backups, verify the integrity of the backups, and recover your databases. It can also send email notifcations about the backup status, and you can implement multiple backup policies (based on your applications and based on time (e.g. daily, weekly, etc.)).

Encrypted offsite backup with EncFS, Amazon S3, and s3cmd

12/26/2008  
Relevance: 6.80
I’ve been using Jungle Disk to do offsite backups of my data. Jungle Disk uses Amazon’s cheap online storage service, Amazon S3, to host backups. (15 cents a gig!) I don’t like Jungle Disk because it’s not open source and because the app is a little clunky, at least on Linux. I recently found that s3cmd could do an rsync-like sync of a directory. That’s cool, but it doesn’t do encrypted backups like Jungle Disk did. In this post, I’ll demonstrate how to make an encrypted backup of locally unencrypted data using EncFS, Amazon S3, and s3cmd.
