I would like to know what backup methods do you use for your data. So far, I am aware of: - cp/scp - rync - rdiff-backup - archiving and relocating (tar, gz, bzip2, zip)
An in-house Perl script that uses rsync over ssh along with hardlinking to create a set of 8 daily, 5 weekly, 3 monthly and 2 quarterly backups in a set of directories that appear as full image backups on a dedicated machine while taking about the same disk space as a single full backup+diffs. It currently handles about 20 servers with around a terabyte of data net. I've been using it for something like 5 years now.
