BackupPC - A handy Linux backup tool
Backing up Linux machines can be challenging, especially for storage/backup administrators who are used to working primarily with Windows. Part of the reason for this (aside from the obvious differences between Linux and Windows) is that there are so many different flavors of Linux such as Red Hat, Ubuntu, HP Linux, SUSE, etc. That means that a backup method that works well on one version or brand of Linux may not produce the same results on another type of Linux deployment.
One really interesting enterprise-class backup product that I have found for Linux is BackupPC. Like many Linux applications, BackupPC is open source and downloadable from the Internet, which is always a plus.
What makes BackupPC unique
There are a few different things about BackupPC that make it worth checking out. For starters, BackupPC is a disk-to-disk (D2D) backup solution. Like Microsoft's Data Protection Manager, it allows you to create backups of multiple machines, and save the data that you have backed up to a hard drive. But the similarities end there.
