Hi everyone,
I am working on some end of year projects for my business and one of
those is to get a backup server going that will connect to all of my
various machines and perform regular backups.

The last time I've looked into this "rsnapshot" was one of the more
nifty and free as in speech solutions. I'm thinking I'll build a box
with three 1-2TB drives, in a RAID5 configuration, and have that
connect to my various machines using a "backup" account. Each machine
will get backed up to my backup server, and then in the future I'll
also get an offsite machine set up to sync with my backup server.

I'm not an expert in this, and I'm guessing a lot of folks on the list
might have some better ideas. I'd like to stick with "free as in
speech" solutions, and also do the storage on real hardware that I own
-- no cloud solutions. If anyone has any suggestions please share!

Thanks,

Erik
