473064, Linux and backup software
Posted by antcj, Mon Jan-21-08 01:08 AM
I have a network with 3 pcs running.
I have an older box into which intend sticking a large drive .
The idea is to have a network backup pc so as to have scheduled backups daily from all pcs

I was going to just use windows, but wondered if there was a way to do this wih Linux. I have both ubuntu and pclinux07.

I had intended to have the backup software run on the backup pc thereby avoiding having to setup 3 different machines.

Bear in mind that i know nothing about linux.
I have tried both on my machine using the disc boot option with linuxos and the virtual option with ubuntu.On my windows machine.

So ,the question again, any user friendly free software for linux for backup purposes available and a how to if possible

thanks
Ant
