http://linuxexchange.org/questions/725/looking-for-strategy-on-backing-up-data-linux-foldersfiles<p>I am looking to find a strategy for backing up data. I have an Ubuntu 10.04 box that I have essentially acting as a server. I work on multiple UNIX systems and I daily backup critical databases, directories, files, etc., via a combination of tar, bzip2, sshfs, and scp. Because of this, I have daily "snapshots" and this will begin to take it's toll on my storage space although I'm okay with snapshots but I was hoping to find out if there is a better way.</p> <p>Any ideas or pointers are greatly appreciated. One item I am not familiar with and haven't studied is the idea of using tar, etc., to "sync" to an existing tar file. Maybe that's a better way so if anyone can point me in the right direction on that as well.</p>enFri, 20 Jan 2017 16:02:25 -0000
