Software:
RSYNC
MIRROR
SFTP
all seem to work OK at various levels of automation. I mirror my data
collection disks onto a faster Linux server using RSYNC.
I am on the verge of buying a Mac G4 with a total of 4 IDE drives in it
(3x 120Gb, 1x 80 Gb) as my first approximation to a backup server
(although it will also serve as an OS X software server). I think I will
be using RSYNC to mirror the disks across the network. I also internally
backup selected user spaces on my dual-chip dual-disk P4 Linux boxes
using RSYNC.
Everything is done via crontab since I prefer not to rely on my memory.
However I also do have external 8mm backups of all my system disks, just
in case.
