Other Help Topics :: Backup tool maybe with GUI

Are there any Backup tool for DSL for automatically backup of Windows/Samba shares. Possibility with a gui interface for creating Normal, incremental,differential backup with scheduling?

Are there any myDSL package that handles backup schemes with scheduling?

thanks.

Does sbackup work with DSL? Anyone try it? Thanks.

I guess backup software isn't very popular...

I don't use anything special. For very important files, I keep copies on multiple machines. For everything else I back it up to dvd's once in a while.

You could write a script around smbclient to do the backups. I haven't run across any GUI that'll pull stuff off a windows box, except some file manager thing in KNOPPIX (name escapes me). Let us know if you find something. I used to use a smbclient script that I ran with cron. Now I'm using NASServer and a dos shell script on the windows box that works pretty well. The NAS software runs on a headless P166Mhz. Of course, the NAS box isn't good for anything else, so this isn't that atttractive unless you have an old POS laying around.

Maybe this one will work:

I haven't used it, so I cannot vouch for it.
