Bacula

"It comes by night and sucks the vital essence from your computers." -Bacula Project

How perfect for Transylvania... muhahahaha!

Bacula is an enterprise-class, open source, network backup solution. While its configuration and use may seem daunting to understand at first, its structure is very logical and easy to use and maintain once you understand the basics. Bacula is supported by a team of developers that also offer commercial support for the product which is in its third version.

Basics

Bacula consists of 3 basic daemons and thus 3 config files:

1. bacula-dir.conf - The director config.. the BIG config.. jobs, clients, schedules, etc (server only)
2. bacula-sd.conf - The storage daemon config.. tape and/or disk drive config (server only)
3. bacula-fd.conf - The file daemon config.. allows the director to backup the system (server + clients)

TBC..
