I want the storage to be remote.I use rsync to do backups, which automatically works over a ssh connection. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com

I want the storage to be remote. >Did you mean you want to run something yourself remotely to collect and store backups or do you want a service? For the former case, look at backuppc (http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/ or the package in epel). It can use rsync over ssh to collect the backups and uses compression and links duplicates to increase the history you can keep online. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com

A Google search came up with this one... http://www.rsync.net/ ...but I have no idea if they're any good and/or affordable. I found them on Slashdot -- here's the thread where there are also other suggestions. http://ask.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/08/01/007237 There's also the "brick and mortar" outfits like Iron Mountain -- which I believe has an online backup service. -- RonB -- Using CentOS 5.4
> Does anyone know a free or low cost online backup > system for CentOS?Just google for -- cheap vps centos -- and see what you find. You can SCP your compressed backups into an account quite easily. We do this for a mysql database backup. You could also use a cheap web hosting account with FTP access. Make sure you encrypt anything first if needed though. Matt

You can actually do quite a lot for free. I also use dropbox for light-duty stuff, which also serves to sync files between my dropbox account and my desktops/laptops. -- Andy Harrison public key: 0x67518262
