Backuppc can compress the files and also pools all duplicate content with hardlinks even if found on different machines. And it provides a nice web interface to browse and restore backups either by downloading through the browser or copying back to the source machine. The web interface can restrict the view of a user to only certain machines so users can do their own restores and control the configuration for their own machines. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell@xxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
