Review: Backupninja backups for Linux
When you hear the word “backup,” what do you think? Critical? Complicated? Costly? When you think of backing up Linux desktops or servers what do you think? You don’t? You run screaming? Thankfully that is not necessary. There are tons of tools in the Linux-verse capable of running a multitude of backs. From the overly simple to the overly complex, in Linux you can find a tool for just about every situation and every experience level.
One of those tools is Backupninja. This is a unique tool in that it doesn’t actually have a full-blown GTK+ or QT GUI. Instead it has an ncurses-based GUI that is, thankfully, just as easy to use as any other. The GUI, however, only applies to the creation of backup sets. For the overall configuration, you’re going to have to edit that text-based configuration file. But fear not, the installation and setup is quite easy.
