Twcbackup

About twcbackup
twcbackup is usually run automatically (from cron) every night to generate a backup of all your data. Every time twcbackup is run, it sends a report by e-mail. These reports show whether the backup succeeded or not and contain a detailed backup log.

The backup settings can be edited using the graphical configuration program twcbackupconf.

 * file level duplication (every file content is SHA1-hashed, and only backuped once)
 * automatic deletion of old backups
 * backup of local data
 * backup of remote machines
 * ssh and rsync (to backup Unix machines)
 * smb and rsync (to backup Windows machines)
 * replication of the backup repository
