[PLUG] Backup

[Tomas Kuchta]

Every now and again, somebody comes asking about a backup solution.

I personally use Btrfs based storage and backup server with snapshots for
de-duplicated time based/versioned backup. This is of course Btrfs specific
- which a) scares away  ext2/3 people  b) upsets Zfs people.

Anyway - Today, an article reminded me that I played with Borg - which does
not rely on modern COW filesystem. I liked it a lot - while playing with it.

Check it out - it might be just the right solution - for your backup needs:

As I said I liked it when playing with it for couple of hours, though I do
not use it for my use case.

Hope it helps,
Tomas
