Wow. No one using Bacula? It seems a little cumbersome to get set up, but once I did it, I can more or less forget about it.

I run a mixed bag of Linux, OSX, Windows machines and each one of them gets incrementally backed up each night, and a full baseline once a month to a machine on the home network. Nothing fancy.

Then about once a month or when I think about it I copy the backups to an external drive and take it off site.

Worst case loss is a month. Seems cool to me.

And yes, I quite often ensure I can restore files - usually by stupidly deleting them at the source.

No one else uses Bacula?
