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 did have two DAT tape drives but the hassle factor meant that backups weren't all that frequent. My offsite backups will be:-
We've got just the one, but it's a 6 tape switcher... and we've not got enough space on the tapes for the nightly backup at the moment!
Copy files to remote server (I have 3Gb on my ISP, with shell access). Copy files to DVD and put in the garage (the garage is a long way from the house, if both burn down I won't be worried about the backups!).
Heh!
