Thanks a bunch for the backup recs. I finally succeeded with BackupPC today...it backed up my main server, and the web GUI works. Regretfully, the docs are a bit sporadic, so I struggled quite a bit with lacking some expertise (they are enough to get me going, but lacks specific details that other-product-manual reading, Googling, etc. can help, but not always). The fun thing is I learned some more stuff! I almost gave up on it a couple of times, and looked into some other to possibly use instead. I was thinking of trying Bacula first. Some others I was looking into are Amanda, Dirvish, and SafeKeep (there are a lot of them out there!). The first couple are pretty deluxe and the last 2 are more bare. While I plan to keep using BackupPC (unless something deters me!), I'm curious if anyone has opinions on those or others?
