Simple Backup - Ubuntu

Sun, 10/05/2008 - 09:46 — hotice — icehot.wordpress.com

I’ve tried a lot of backup software for Ubuntu, but none was quite right for what i had in mind: simple interface, the ability to select the folders which to backup, auto backup, simple restore to a selected date and most important: to backup only the changed files and folders if a previous backup with the same files and folders already exist. That untill i found Simple Backup. It has all the qualities i mentioned above, plus the ability to make a large backup at the begining and then only backup what changed.

OK - well we might get tired

OK - well we might get tired of the word plugins... cheap web hosting but I see the request for a timevault style backup system, the underlying technology (file system or backup library), and the destination as being 3 separate part of the solution cheap vps. But whatever tool is selected - people should be able to add the options they want 1) Option to backup online. Make it easy to add different online services whether it is some random FTP site, S3, a free cloud service, or some other future solution (bit-torrent backups or replication with other machines? dedicated servers) 2) Allow encryption of data. Whether online or offline, we should optionally allow encryption of data. [I see opportunity here to leverage GPU or multiple core processing for stupidly high levels of encryption no? domain name registration
