I'm using dirvish (<a href="http://www.dirvish.org/" title="dirvish.org">http://www.dirvish.org/</a dirvish.org>)which is a perl script wrapper around rsync using its' hard link capabilities to maintain a multitude of backup "vaults" over a time range minimizing disk bloat.
I'm using this to backup our linux based fileserver and found the config file a bit confusing to setup but I'm happy with the results.
However I'm looking at the best way to do backups on Windows XP clients to our fileserver. I tried out nasbackup (<a href="http://www.nasbackup.com/" title="nasbackup.com">http://www.nasbackup.com/</a nasbackup.com>) but didn't find it robust or easy to use. I want to get some rsync based mechanism setup to backup people's desktops and laptop machines at my company. What do you use and how happy are you with it?
