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.
