Hi,
I'm looking for an Opensource solution which can
allow
me to backup various servers I have to another
server
(the others servers disks) while allowing me to
store
full and incremental backups, browse the files
that
were backed up etc.
Basically, a normal tape backup system but without
tapes while keeping the backed up files on the
other
servers disks in a highly compressed format.
Anyone know of anything like this out there?
Thanks.

Thanks for this, I'm surprised this product is so
powerful. But reading the web pages and features
document, I couldn't ascertain whether it does backups
to the servers actual disks, it makes plenty of
references to Tape drives and Tape loaders (which I
don't want) but nothing to clearly say "bacula will
backup data *to* a servers disks".
Can you please confirm it dos do this.
Thankyou.
Michael.
In the documentation, under the section about 'running bacula', it says
it is configured by default to do the test to the hard drive. I would
thus assume it can do full backups the same way with proper configuration.
