[Klug-general] Backup solutions

[Alan at COMM-TECH]

For Windows clients where backup is needed (like poxy OE email profiles 
that wont roam) we use SyncBack Freeware V3.2.14 from
http://www.2brightsparks.com/downloads.html#freeware

We just point the workstations to make the backups to the Linux server 
then use rsync over ssh to an offsite server, or burn DVDs. Not good to 
FTP to remote sites unencrypted... think carnivore.

Synchronisation works, the success/failure email post-synchronisation is 
very useful

I cant figure out whether SyncBack is OSS or just beer. Like beer though 
it works well.

Any questions on practical use welcome to email me.
