Re: [CentOS] NFS vs SMb vs iSCSI for remote backup mounts

Anytime someone mentions backups, I have a knee-jerk reaction to mention

backuppc because it is simple and will likely do anything you need. Docs are here: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/ It is packaged in epel. It can use rsync (with/without ssh), smb, or tar for the backup transport. Generally for anything remote, you'll want rsync, and you'll want it badly enough to set it up even on windows targets - which is not all that difficult.

Thank you Les, but I'm not looking for a new backup program. We rely on the platform's native backup scripts. I'm looking for recommendation for a fast, reliable & secure remote backup server platform
