Subject: Internet capable backups for ubuntu<br><div link="blue" vlink="purple" lang="EN-GB"><div><p class="MsoNormal">Hi,</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">We have a ubuntu box in a data centre and we need to find some kind of hands off backup for it, ideally internet based. We have online backup software that works really well for Windows but it’s Linux flavour isn’t quite robust. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">We thought about using good old rsync, but frankly I would prefer something with a web manageable front end so that all the other people who would get involved in restoring files (front line techs, devs of varying skill) can be easily restore and check on backups.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">Anyone got any suggestions on what we can use? Perhaps even something that does full server backups, akin to the imaging backups you find in Windows that allow you to restore to dis-similar hardware types if needed.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">Olly<br></p></div></div></blockquote><div><br>Use Backup Monitor. It has an easy-to-use web interface to the "good old rsync" program. It is not avaible currently in the repositories, but you can download the source code, compile and install it. Here is the link:<br>
