I list, I'm new with backup ops and I'm searching a good system to accomplish this work. I know that on centos there are bacula and amanda but they are too tape oriented. Another is that they are very powerfull but more complex. I need a solution for small office for disk storage and I found Backup PC. Many people say that it is great for small stuff and for great number of data.
What do you mean about Backup PC? Any experiences? What solution do you use?
Les, who I'm sure will hop in, likes it. We have a home-grown system that automates rsync.

I’ve been using BackupPC for several years for my 10 hosts, and works extremely well, however it can take a lot of disk space, so I’d recommend a dedicated drive for the backups. I’ve restored many files over the years but haven’t as yet needed to do a bare metal restore. One further recommendation I have is that you might also consider a second host that backs up the primary backup host in the event that it fails, which is what I’m doing, and because I have it I backup all my hosts to 2 different servers.
The BackupPC list is very active at times and can provide you with lots of tips and help.
