Flexbackup is a flexible backup tool.
Features:
o Easy to configure
o Uses dump, afio, GNU tar, cpio, star, pax, or zip archivers
o Full and numbered levels of incremental backup (acts like "dump")
o Compression and buffering options for all backup types
o Does remote filesystems (over rsh/ssh; no special service)
o Package delta mode can backup files not owned by rpm,
or owned+changed files.
o Writes to tapes, on-disk archive files, or on-disk directory trees
o Keeps a table of contents so you know what archives are on each tape
o Nice log files
Software needed:
o perl
o fileutils, findutils (a "find" capable of using the -regex switch)
o one or more of
dump/restore, afio, GNU tar, star, pax, cpio, zip
o mt (if using tapes)
o gzip, bzip2, lzop, or compress (optional)
