BackupPC: Open Source Backup to disk

Submitted by John Locke on Thu, 12/01/2005 - 05:49

Just stumbled upon a pretty cool web interface to a centralized backup system. You can manage a series of snapshot backups of all the computers on your network. It can automatically send a user an email if there's a repeated problem of missed backups. And users can restore their own backups through the web site. BackupPC: Open Source Backup to disk.

I found this while reading an article in Linux Journal that also has some helpful hints for setting up a Linux-based backup system: Build a Home Terabyte Backup System Using Linux.

Customer Feedback

As the coordinator for the Olympic Peninsula Tourism Commission, I direct staff and contractors in projects for the OPTC, including the contractor selection, design and build of the new website. Freelock was chosen and did the work as expected with great results. I heartily recommend them for other work of this nature. Their customer service and personal approach sets them apart from the crowd.
