Software that does Backup uploads to Remote locations
 

Which software could be used to send daily backups automatically to a remote location (via ftp or something similar)? I cannot find a solid program for this. Thanks for your help :thumbsup

Do you have a remote location that you are looking to send the files to, or are you looking for a service that will accept your backed-up data?

If you have a server that you want to back up to, I can help you set up a backup system pretty easily.

(This makes me wonder... would anyone be interested if I set up a secure, adult-friendly offsite backup service? What would you pay for something like that and how many megs/gigs would you be looking to back up?)

i need the software, i have a server already on the other side of the country. i looked into the companies offering backup/hosting solutions, their rates are cheap (10 - 15$/month) but id rather do it myself.

We back all of our customers home directories and most of our apache configs with 'rsync' (remote sync) you can read about it here:

Yep, rsync over SSH is what we use, since regular rsync is horribly insecure. If you need help, let me know.

forgot to mention one of the reason we chose rsync is because it will preserve userid/groupid timestamp and permissions during copy, and once the directory is backed up, it will do differential backups only, you can also set an option to 'prune' a backup (e.g delete all files that do not exist on source, but exist on backup)

rsync rocks

awesome stuff with the rsync

in this case i need a Windows based app to do the remote backup jobs.. its for a small business client of mine running a win2k server box. he would like to have his data on the other side of the country just incase shit happens to his building.

do any of you know a windows based app for this task?

If the target server for the backup runs Linux/BSD/etc you could use Bacula:

client runs on Windows, server runs on NIX.

Or, just use rsync for windows:
