That is what I was looking for
by Łukasz Nowak - May 23rd 2007 03:56:59
In our company I was implementing some backup solutions based on shell
scripts. But shell scripts do not have exception system, and sometimes
backups were failed, without any notice.
I was investigating many backup solutions - Backup Manager, BackupNinja,
Bacula, etc. Some of them are only set of shell scripts, which I try to
avoid (like Backup Manager), some of them are only snapshotters
(BackupNinja) and some are too complicated (Bacula).
Cedar Backup is middle-like solution - quite easy to configure, with many
features out of the box, and easy to extend (via python scripts).
I recommend it to administrators, who are not able to maintain they own
scripts, and for which huge projects like Bacula is too much.
