What do others here use to backup data on their machines (if anything!)?
I'm looking for something a bit more friendly (and clever) than just tar or rsync but nowhere near as big and complex as backupbuddy or backupPC. So is there anything 'in between'?
We tend to use dirvish for backups, and then dump that off to tapes every night for an offsite backup.
I use dirvish in a similar manner. It's based on the rsync protocol; bit awkward to set up but well worth the effort. It will allow you to configure in a conf file what you want to back up and when.
