I was a bit surprised to find that BackupPC does not seem to be available on my CentOS-5.2 system.
What do people use to backup Centos systems?
Actually BackupPC does run on CentOS without any problem. I use BackupPC hosted on a CentOS 5.2 server to backup some Windows laptops.
On the other hand the Unix machines, including the CentOS machines, while they could be served by a BackupPC server as well, I do those backups using Amanda, mostly because that is what I used for more than 8 years now, and because we need tapes as well.
Amanda never left me in the cold, even after terrible hard disk crashes or operator mistakes.
