I have a home network with two FreeBSD servers (web- and file-server), a number of Windows desktops and a wireless FreeBSD laptop all connected to one another using Samba.
What is the best tool to create automatic central backups? For now I just want
to make backups on disk but later using an external tape drive.
Some swear by Amanda, others insist Bacula works best with Samba, just curious
is all.
Well, I'm using bacula with the following config:
a) 1 Windows client (only some data to backup);
b) 1 FreeBSD client/storage (I just backup /etc, /usr/local/etc, ... and
it holds daily backup on a disk);
c) 1 FreeBSD client/storage (main big chunk of data to save and tape
drive used monthly for full backups).
Initially it was not that easy to setup, but I must admin it's working
very well now.
I haven't by now even considered the bare metal restore option.
