So I suspect I need a backup solution which packs up the files to be backed up into some sort of archive file and then just copies that file across to the server. Does anyone here use a backup solution of this sort and/or know any good ones?
Could you not tar to a file within the samba mounted directory, perhaps cobble together some script that maintains x number of cycles worth of archives and then purges them ? I used to do something similar many moons ago to archive some servers on a regular basis and it was relatively easy to put something together that kept 2 weeks worth of archives and mailed me when there was a problem etc.
