It will keep a history of backups using compression and links to greatly increase what you can keep on line in a given amount of disk space and can do the backups with tar, smb, or rsync with options to run commands before and after. And there is a nice web interface to browse and restore the backups. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
