Enterprise Planing for backup and recovery

[mnzava]

Hello friends,
I have a suggestion on backup plan and recovery. Can anyone with good knowledge on this are write the HOWTO for it?

Having the best server on earth without disaster recovery plan is useless.

Rdiff, Rsync and system imager might interest you.

Which one do you prefer/think as the best among those listed there?

Thanx Falko and Hans,
I went through the rsync setup and so far it seems to be great.
I will continue to unfold its magics as i proceed.
Now is there any trick that i can use rsync to backup files from windows server using rsync installed on linux box?

Thanx and regards.

I think you can somehow do that with BackupPC, but maybe it's easier to do this using smb.

Does anyone have some info on proper backup & disaster procedures? What backup software to use is but a small part of doing a decent backup of a network
