I was a bit surprised to find that BackupPC does not seem to be available on my CentOS-5.2 system.
I got it from the testing repo. I use it to back up Windows servers to my Linux server.
What do people use to backup Centos systems?
To back up the Linux server, I use dump and direct the output to a file on a removable USB drive formatted as ext3. I rotate drives the way one might rotate tapes.
I've been using dump since 1989, when I had a Sun 386i.
Both BackupPC and dump have their own support infrastructure.
