Best Backup Solutions for Desktop Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| Despite common misconceptions, there are more solid backup solutions for 
| desktop Linux than most people might suspect. Best of all, many of them are 
| completely free with the code being open source. Some of them however, are 
| not.   
| 
| In this piece, I will give you a break down of each of them. How they can 
| work in your specific situation, where you will find the applications, and 
| I'll provide the needed details so that you can better decide what option is 
| best for you.

Open source backup tools

,----[ Quote ]
| Dominant among open-source data protection software are Amanda (short for
| Advanced Maryland Automatic Network Disk Archiver) and Bacula, which are two
| software packages designed for backing up Windows, Solaris, Linux and Mac OS
| X client servers, laptops and desktops.
|
| [...]
|
| Bacula was originally written in 2000 and first released in 2002. Like
| Amanda, it backs up Windows, Linux, Unix and Mac OS X servers, desktops and
| laptops. In addition, it also supports MySQL, PostgreSQL and SQLite
| open-source databases.
|
| There are other open-source backup packages available. Some like BackupPC,
| which can be downloaded from SourceForge.net, and DeltaCopy focus on backing
| up Windows, Linux and Mac OS X laptops and desktops. Others such as the rsync
| utility, which is included in Linux distributions, focus on synchronizing
| data from one disk to another or one location to another.
