I've added that one to my list. I took a very cursory (about 1 minute)
look at the website just now. One thing that jumped out at me is that
it seems to be written/supported by just one person. In general, I
_try_ to use projects that have at least a few lead members. Better
chance of stability and longevity. It's certainly no guarantee, but I
figure it probably helps!<br>
<br>
2 cents.<br>

Thanks,<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">I've had some false starts along these lines as
well, using FOSS. The capabilities are there, I just haven't been able
to dedicate the time to working with the various available software.
Here's a list of some of the network-centric backup software out there
that I'm aware of:<br>
<br>
Amanda (<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.amanda.org">http://www.amanda.org</a>)<br>
BackupPC (<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://backuppc.sourceforge.net">http://backuppc.sourceforge.net</a>)<br>
Bacula (<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.bacula.org">http://www.bacula.org</a>)<br>
good ole' rsync (<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.samba.org/rsync">http://www.samba.org/rsync</a>)<br>
Areca Backup (<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.areca-backup.org">http://www.areca-backup.org</a>)<br>
<br>
<br>
Bacula seems to be a very popular enterprise-level backup. Amanda may
be second in line.<br>
<br>
Areca is touted as a "personal backup" software, so if you're just
backing up the one server to its own tape drive, Areca might fit your
requirements.<br>
<br>
My own goal is to be able to 1) use FOSS backup software at my clients
instead of BackupExec and 2) to be able to have a hard drive-based
backup server running at my office that I can use during off-hours to
regularly back up select individual folders and files from my clients'
servers and even select workstations. After developing it, #2 would
cost very little to operate, but it would be a good second line of
defense for my libraries & schools. Not all of them are very good
about their backups. Even fewer regularly take a backup off-site.<br>
<br>
<br>
Just some thoughts,<br>
Chad<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">I’m wondering if anyone knows of a free software
that can be used to backup data on a Windows 2008 R2 server being used
as a file share server? Symantec Backup Exec has been recommended and
I can get it from Tech Soup for $117 which is a deal but I’m still
curious about a free solution. We would be backing up to a internal
DAT 72 Drive. Windows backup in 2008 only does internal/external
drives no tape drives.<o:p></o:p></p>
