Note that you can use CrashPlan for free if you do peer2peer. The cloud backup 
costs, of course.

 

I’ve been happily using CrashPlan personally for many years. Generally stays 
out of the way and “just works”.

And you can run your own crashplan server, or do peer2peer backups, eg machine 
A backs up to B and vice versa.

Second this. Crashplan "family plan" lets you back-up up to 10 devices, fairly 
cheaply ($150/year). They're not picky on where the devices physically are (so, 
for instance, my family's Linode servers are also backing themselves up via 
Crashplan).

We have a lot of people who have been happy with CrashPlan for years.  Our 
storage/backup/DR wizard swears by it for his personal backups and has been 
advocating using it for our corporate desktop backup.

Matt,

Try using FreefileSync (http://www.freefilesync.org/).  It is different, but 
with a few wrapper scripts I have found it a good replacement for BackupPC.  We 
are using it at work to backup 1500+ Mac workstations.

cheers,

ski

I'm currently running BackupPC as a backup solution for my home
network.  I like the functionality, but it is slow, probably because of
the Perl compression libraries.  Any suggestion for a replacement with
similar functionality?  I particularly like the web interface both for
checking status and doing restores.
