Hi all,
til present I used my own script for backups using DAR. A drawback is that it is rather slow with good compression, and is useless if the last slice is defect. Happened to me twice the last 5 years.
On my MacBook I have come to appreciate TimeMachine. I use VirtualBox and openSuSE 11.4 on it as host. Works quite well. Mac OSX 10.6.5 is not as flexable, even with the whole development environment and MacPorts, ok for administering other Linux systems, but my virtual machines are always backed up comfortably by TimeMachine.
I would like to make a TiemMachine like backup on my openSuSE Linux Raid 10 server, in development to a data server, onto a USB-2/eSATA 2TB external disk.
I have seen there are apps like Backupper and Flyback. Anyone using an app that works with the ease of TimeMachine on linux. Any experiences and comments are welcome.

My favourite is backintime ... automated rsync backups with hardlinks for unchanged files, plus a reasonable interface in both Gnome and KDE. No compression as such though. It's available in packman and I've been meaning to get it into Factory as well.
