We have about 5 servers spread out throughout the country: 2 Centos 4.4,
1 Red Hat and 2 windows machines- looking for some good ideas for a
back-up solution. Our servers hold a lot of data, but only a small
portion of it is crucial on any given day. That crucial portion is
always changing (for example, this week the crucial files all relate to
November- current and previous projects, and the next project in early
December).
What we need to have is a backup solution that would allow us to roll
back to any given day (about four weeks of daily history). Bare-metal
backups are a must.
Our ideal solution would be to find someone who could design and
implement a system for us. All ideas and suggestions are welcome.

Hi!
Have a look at: http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/
I use this kind of setup for my clients, works like a charm. I made my
own scripts and we can hold easily last 30 days in rolling scheme. It
works over SSH and support compression of the stream. RSync is very
efficient. For Winblows, check:
