I'm working with a non-profit and am trying to come up with a backup
solution with OSS. Here are the specifics
10 Windows XP machines
1 Linux Samba Linux Server
1 Mac (OSX) client
1 Backup Server
1 NAS (for backup storage)
Backup side:
Disk backup as opposed to tape backup
Automated solution - minimal interaction as there is no sysadmin on site
Incremental/Full/Current Data Protection (In Use Files), Bare Metal
restore a plus but not needed
Push/Pull configuration
Client side:
Client side configuration in addition to admin configuration (user
should be able to add to what is being updated)
Client side file restore
Client side initiated backup
We need a solution that is cross platform as you can see. We want to use
Linux (most likely CentOS) for the backup server. I've been looking at
Amanda/Zmanda and Backula. I'd like suggestions on these or any other
OSS solutions.
TIA,
Roy
