Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hello everyone! Just thought I'd toss this idea out and see what everyone thinks. I'm still relatively new to FreeBSD, and have checked about for a good backup solution to backup our network here. The only one I've found that I -like- is bru, and I -don't- like the cost. dump seems rather old/icky/nasty/doesn't work, tar doesn't do error-recovery well (so i've heard) and afio doesn't have a front-end. So. I'm thinking of writing what will hopefully be a small perl program, that will use the wonderous features of find and afio to do full/incremental/differental backups, hopefully across many machines (using ssh if I'm lucky).
