Linux Backup Doesn’t Have to be Retro
Linux backup is stuck in the 90s. And like most long-term
Linux users, I didn't realize that - until I started to work for a software
company that performs backup and recovery and saw the alternative. At first
glance, the backup software situation for Linux actually looks
comfortable: Most Linux distributions include a number of Open Source
backup solutions, either included in the core OS or available as an add-on.
Also, many commercial backup vendors do support backup of Linux machines, so
there is plenty of choice.
