Without checking the internet, and before you listen to other peoples'
anecdotes or anything, I'd like to hear your gut feel, I want to know what
your natural instinct is.  What do you think about the reliability of the
following tools?  

 

If you have personal experience with them, obviously, that will shape your
perception.  But even with no knowledge or experience with a particular
tool, I still want to know your instinct.  Because your preconceived notions
influence decisions you make, give you bias in terms of what tools you even
think about using or researching.

 

Focus on reliability.   ;-)

 

rsync

rsnapshot

rdiff-backup

tar

amanda

bacula

Any other tools that you'd like to mention, that you're likely to use for
backups

 

Follow-up question:  Given that these are all free open source packages,
which are probably included with your "stable" OS distribution, would you
have bias to assume they're reliable, just because of that?

 

In a follow-up post, momentarily, I'll explain why I'm asking these
question.
