[BackupPC](http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/) is the coolest and best featured open source cross-platform project for disk-to-disk backup. However almost nobody talks about it and therefore many folks unfortunately never heard of it.
It's designed for enterprise environment and will run on any \*nix based server. Moreover it's able to backup UNIX-like and Microsoft Windows systems due to the fact that **no client is necessary**.
Yeah, I know, it could resemble a bit outdated, not keeping up with flashy graphics fashion, but it just works, and it works well, without constant need of maintenance and upgrades.
It supports NFS, SSH, SMB and rsync protocols and **hard linking, data deduplication, pooling and compression**.
It's included in major distribution repositories and with [cygwin](https://cygwin.com/) you're able to use tar, rsync and ssh on windows systems. Why not to use SMB you might ask: ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?
It's well documented and online you could find plenty of articles on how to set it up on homogeneous and mixed environment.
So go on and spread the word, BackupPC is the answer!
