dbackup is a disk-based client-server backup system for Linux or other UNIX systems. It works on the principal that disks are cheaper and more reliable than tapes. Backups are started by cron probably on a daily basis by the client. The client backs up individual filesystems / directories with tar and sends the result to the server, which stores them in a simple tree-based directory structure. Restores are trivial, either by using the supplied restore client, or by simply copying the appropriate tar files off the server and uncompressing them. kurt, can you wrangle this to one of your server project devs? This package hasn't changed in more than 3 years. There's no public listing of bugs and doesn't seem (well) used at all. I fear this would be a dead package in Gentoo. It will not be added at this time. |
