 Off site backup (sometimes called 'remote backup') is fairly common these days. There are a plethora of companies out there selling Windows-based workstation remote backup systems, but backing up a Linux server to an offsite location can be a little trickier. WATSYS Technology Consulting Group has several years of experience in sourcing, designing, and implementing offsite backup and reporting systems. You may wish to opt for the WATSYS Offsite Backup System which includes encryption, geo-redundant backups, and custom installation, or we can design a system just for you. Almost all Linux-based off site backup systems utilize rsync at some level. Rsync is a copy algorithm which provides extremely efficient incremental backups because it does a byte-by-byte comparison of each file and only transfers the changed bytes. When Rsync is used coupled with the magic of Linux hard links, the result is a very robust and easily understood offsite backup system. Other options on the playing field include Duplicity which is an off site backup system that implements encryption so that you can safely store your data on unknown off site servers without risking your intellectual property. Whatever your off site backup needs, we can either source or design a solution for you. |
