Subject: [LUG] FTP Backups and XP
Hi All
Does anyone know of a distro or programme that will allow me to set up
an ftp backup system. I want to be able to grab data (documents and
settings) from a users computer and upload this to an ftp server.
If this is not possible I can automate the backup to go from XP to a
Linux distro and from there to the ftp backup.
I want to automate as much as possible.
Thanks for the replies from everyone. The ftp is very external
(located in Bodmin, we're in Lostwithiel). I am concerned because our
current system is trying to back up during the night and not getting
it done! So I was hoping to automate as much as possible at the weekend.
The programme that was suggested to me allows backup locally. Maybe it
would be better to back up locally at say 6pm everyday. Locally it
would be fast and then use Linux to then sync by ftp from 7pm and
overnight. What sync programme would you recommend please (gui if
possible). Thanks

Are you trying to push the data from the machine being backed up or pull
it from the backup server?

User - to file server - to backup server.
