Hi,
I'm a relative newbie who has just installed Debian (Woody) on 5 servers: 2 Firewalls, an Apache/TWiki server, a file server, and a workstation w/ Gnome. I'm looking for a solution to backup these systems (and also the data on the file server.)
I've done some reading on the web and have found any number of solutions: from shell scripts to commercial tools. In the interests of time I put together a list of 'system requirements.' I was wondering if people could make some suggestions as to which direction to take.
Note: I don't need anything more than a recommended tool/approach. I'll take it from there.
Thanks!
