Hi all, Ben.
I'm currently installing a new CVS/Backup server in our corporation.=20
I'm thinking about using boxbackup to replace our poor rsync+scp=20
system. Our boxes are only BSD/Linux based, so no Windows adaptation=20
will be necessary (thank God!). We have about 30 servers, 90%=20
OpenBSD-based.
Our system is snapshot-based, where every machine connects to the main=20
backup repository at each time, syncing the files using incremental=20
checks, checksums, preserving symlinks and permissions and backing up=20
on a weeekly-directory basis (rsync's 'backup-dir' option) + regex=20
exclusion of sockets and non-backupeable data.
Will boxbackup suit my needs? Any Pros or Cons?
For the community: What are your impressions about boxbackup? How=20
stable is it until now?
=20
Best Regards,
