Hi

I am search a good software for Backup my Linux server.



- I want on server dedicaced for the backup with LTO Library.
with central management (and web if possible)

- I have 80 small server linux on internet, i want backup all
but small volume: 20/30mo per server

- I have 10 server with big quantity (5/10Go) on internet too.

- For best bandwitch, i am search a solution in Delta Blocking or
Binary Patch.



Anytone know a software for this ?

I have tested a old version of Arkeia, good product but i don't thinks
that he have "Delta Blocking" or "Binary Patch" for reduce the bandwitch
no ?

Thanks for your help

Quicky (and dirty, but it works):

Set up an ftp on the backup server
Then set up a daily cronjob on each remote server:

dd if=[/path/to.source]
of=[ftp://l:p@destination.ip.add.ress/path/to.destination]

(the above should be one line)
Jobbed.

Sounds like legato networker should be a good match for you.

Good luck

Yep. It comes with GUI, the preferred CLI client and man pages as
as one would expect from serious *nix software in standard
package format (rpm). Among the best concerning packaging I have
seen for commercial software so far.

Dunno what this is about, perhaps check the online information
about the software? Or ask some sales droid?

Think binary diffs, using disk block calculations. AFAICT it's slow and
inefficient, due to the inherent slack on rounded block sizes.

Mag;

Based on what you are looking for please take a look at www.storix.com for
their "backup administrator" system. I have used it on many of my AIX
systems and I now use it to centrally back up multiple Linux servers to a
managed VXA Tape facility. It's not cheap but its worth it!
