Here is a small desc. Tartarus is a software that provides a nice wrapper around basic Unix tools such as tar, find and curl (well, that’s not that basic) to provide a seamless backup solution, aimed at automatic gathering and backup. It has the ability to do full as well as incremental backups and is published by Stefan Tomanek under the rules of the GPL. And I have also made a complete guide on how to install and configuring Tartarus. Check my site - hope this helped someone! http://www.mmncs.com/2011/04/how-to-install-and-setup-a-backup-system-on-linux-debian-based-systems-using-tartarus/ Im using Tartarus which is great and free.

Can someone post an example? Also, Godaddy seems to be picky wanting this below shebang TERM=linux export TERM I think this because of using Godaddy. A page in the siet http://www.fortasse.com/2010/01/tutorials/tutorial-automatic-backup-script/ has good informAtion, but it doesnt have a example for rsync =[ I would like a nice rsync exmaple because cp is slow for share server. I had issues with rsync. Can someone post an example?

It can backup to Amazon S3, too. Amanda’s had a number of improvements since this entry was written – it now has a native Windows client, as well as clients for various applications like postgres.

But it is worth the effort. I was surprised to see that “Bacula is relatively easy to use” and agree with slacka – read the manual. But it is worth the effort.

It is quite complex and i'm about halfway through the manual (750p). I suggest you read it before you jump into it. On the plus side it seems like it is easily the best way to keep a distributed backup system. I am using it to create a system that has no single point of failure and I dont think that this could easily be accomplished with most of the simpler options.

For everybody who is new to Ubuntu I also recommend Grync, which is a GNOME GUI programm for rsync. So, if you do not like the command line, give it a try ;) Nice article, I prefer rsync.
