I've seen this on Fedora 12:
Name : BackupPC
Arch : noarch
Version : 3.1.0
Release : 13.fc12
Size : 2.2 M
Repo : installed
>From repo : updates
Summary : High-performance backup system
URL : http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
License : GPLv2+
Description : BackupPC is a high-performance,
enterprise-grade system for backing up
: Linux and WinXX PCs and laptops to a server's
disk. BackupPC is highly
: configurable and easy to install and maintain.
Not sure if it would work with tape drives though, or if it
comes with CentOS 5.x
Looks like it's written in perl.
Kind Regards,
Keith
