<p>I've been real happy with rdiff-backup for all my backup needs.
You'll have to script it yourself including removing old backup
sets but it's quite solid. If you need partition image backups,
that's not going to be your selection. If you want to make sure
your files are backed up it's a great solution. It's space
efficient in that it only backs up changes. If a file is
unchanged nothing is stored.</p>
<p>But then there are lots of schemes to choose from. Everyone will
have a different opinion but that's one thing that makes this
group so valuable.<br>

<div>I have recently put together a Buffalo NAS device with 2TB of
mirrored storage. I am looking for opinions for setting up my
desktop/laptop systems to do backups to the NAS. They all run
Solus Linux so no need to accommodate for the other OSes for
now. In the future, I might try backing up phones and tablets
but that's a ways off.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Also, thoughts on what to backup that may not be apparent on
a Linux system would be great as well.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I vaguely recall someone suggesting using local mail to
incidate if a backup succeeded or failed but I am open to
options.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Regards,</div>
