As far as I understand, you are aiming at a pull-solution, but I would rather choose a push solution as this also solves your root login problem. As you are already familiar with rdiff-backup I would suggest duplicity which also uses librsync. It has the added feature of encryption of your backups. For your other requirements: > - smallest network traffic Pass. > - smallest load on remote machines Not probably what you mean but in this case your remote machine is the backup server, so pass :) > - preserved file permissions Yes, only limitation is that it doesnt support hardlinks (multiple copies are stored) > - only small configuration on remote machines Pass. > - restoring data until 7 days ago (7 day generation) Pass. > - root login on remote machines is disabled Your backupserver only needs to permit (non-root) scp/sftp from every client machine.
