network backup advice
I have a small network at home (4 linux machine 2 win98 machines) and I
would like to know what would be the best way to back these up to one server
that has a scsi dat drive. I have tries afbackup but am having a heck of a
time getting it configured. Is there a simpler way of doing this. I am
mainly worried about the linux machine, not the win98 machines as they are
my kids and the info on them isn't important. Is there a way I could use tar
to do weekly full and daily incremental backups and copy these to an nfs
mount on the server with the dat drive. I would like them to to be named
hostname.date.full/incr.tar.gz so I can tell what goes where and I am not
worried about backing up the stuff I can restore from a fresh install just
the stuff I can't. any advice or pointers would be appreciated or if someone
could simplify afbackup for me that would help. BTW 3 of the linux machines
are running Debian one is running RedHat.
Thanks
Brad
