I am using storeBackup for three years now and LOVE it. I am backing
up three servers to two independent backup servers and get a new
backup every four hours. storeBackup uses hard links on the target
disk, so you do not need much physical space on the backup servers. A
backup of a 250GB server takes less than 15 minutes.
This is certainly no solution if you need an insurance against
hardware failures, but it is a perfect backup to store densely older
versions of the server content.
Having the servers and the backup servers on RAID6 and having
storeBackup makes me sleep well.
best regards
