Hello, I am backing up 5 servers on one centralized machines using =20 "rsnapshot" It is doing a perfect job, including : --> SSH transport. --> Rsync based. --> Incremental backup. As It uses a symlink strategy, It does not use very much space on the =20= backup device. It is in the ports /usr/ports/sysutil/rsnapshot and described as : rsnapshot is a filesystem snapshot utility based on rsync(1). rsnapshot makes it easy to make periodic snapshots of local machines, and remote machines over ssh. The code makes extensive use of hard links whenever possible, to greatly reduce the disk space required. It is written entirely in perl with no module dependencies, and has been tested with versions 5.004 through 5.8.1. WWW: http://www.rsnapshot.org ---------- I am backing up 2To of data, with a daily flow of 20 to 100 Go. The first backup is quite long - after it's a matter of hours (1 or 2 =20= max). In order to fully automate the process, I have created an ssh key =20 signature that allows me to access directly as root - if you would =20 like more security, you could create a specific user=85 which will lead =20= you to ownership problem, unless very well setup. The main problem with mac would be to sync the specific MetaData =20 files specific to the Mac. I don't think these are synced in my backup. This is only a problem =20 if your users are not naming their files with the right extension =20 (.doc, .pdf, =85). If you are syncing OSX 10.4 use the Apple provided rsync and not any =20 other (more steady).
