Hi all I need a free program to backup a ubuntu server for my school class,
it has to be as good or better than Rdiff and Rsync the server will use SSH,
MYSql and be a file and web server and do a couple of other things. I need
it to be either a gui or text box program.

Thanks
GK

Why not use rsync? I can assure you that it is as good as rsync.
And why not make it a cron job-- then you do not even need a gui or text
box for it.

Amanda? I have always been happy with it. For any backup utility that
works on the file level the MySQL database will have to be dumped to a
file prior to running the backup.

Which makes rsync or rsnapshot perfect for the job. Do the mysql
backup first, then the rsync or rsnapshot, all from an automated cron
job. No need for any UI at all.
