Dbackup Description

Disk-based client-server backup system for UNIX systems Dbackup is a free command-line client-server backup system that works on the principal that disks are cheaper and more reliable than tapes.Backups are started by cron probably on a daily basis by the client. The client backs up individual filesystems / directories with tar and sends the result to the server, which stores them in a simple tree-based directory structure.Restores are trivial, either by using the supplied restore client, or by simply copying the appropriate tar files off the server and uncompressing them. Here are some key features of "Dbackup": · Backup very large filesystems as long as you have the disk space · Works with very large numbers of servers / filesystems · No state is kept on the client, it’s all on the server · Backup to multiple backup servers in round-robin · Configuration can be global or per-server · Authentication for client restores (optional) · Supports optional gzip or bzip2 compression · Supports client-side gpg encryption · Trivial procedure for restores · Daily / Full incremental backups Requirements: · Perl What's New in This Release: · Updated documentation for each application · Changed the protocol to include flags on a list · Added the dry_run flag to restore · Some bug fixes and performance enhancements
