[KLUG Members] linux/windows backup options

[Richard Harding]

I am looking at setting up a backup server at home. I just want to toss 
in a 200gb disk and backup /home and my documents folders from debian 
and Windows XP machines. It would also be cool if I could remote backup 
some stuff from work which is sitting on a debian server.

I was looking at Amaanda, but everything seems to be for tape and I am 
having a hard time finding non-tape drive options. I also saw BackupPC 
which is supposed to work on Windows by mounting shares which I could 
probably manage.

Anyone have any good options out there? I am looking at backup up 3-4 
machines max to this server. I don't HAVE to do remote backups from 
work. Currently I backup mysql databases by dumping them and then ftping 
them home for remote storage. I wanted to extend this to web files and 
subversion repositories.

Thanks for any tips.
