It provides +a web-based user interface. It supports several platforms (Unix-like, +Windows, MacOSX) to backup to a disk-based storage. + +No client-side software is necessary, as the BackupPC server uses +several protocols (smb, rsync, tar and ftp) native to the client OS. + +File-level deduplication combined with optional compression minimizes +the disk space needed to store the backups and disk I/O and enables +synthetic backups to reduce network traffic. + +BackupPC is not a block-level backup system but performs file-based +backup and restore. Thus it is not suitable for backup of disk +images or raw disk partitions. + +BackupPC supports laptop environments with clients on dynamic +IP addresses (DHCP) not always connected to the network.
