I've heard of this. Some guys in the NOC at the ISP where I have two servers told me that the _seniors_ use this but that they haven't yet figured out how to (does that make them _juniors_ ?
Do you know if rsync can back up to cdr/cdrw, and if so, will it handle multiple volumes?
I believe mondorescue http://www.microwerks.net/~hugo/ does cdrw/dvd-rw backups pretty well.
I've just tried using rsnapshot http://www.rsnapshot.org/ which is rsync based backup. I like the fact that backups are incremental as far as disk usage - but each snapshot is - complete for future recovery (unchanged files are preserved with multiple hard links across snapshots). However this doesn't do complete system recovery - so I sould get mondorescue working.
I'm hoping for a complete solution with a USB external HDD for storing backups (with incremental backups).
