[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Yeah, I know, it could resemble a bit outdated, not keeping up with flashy graphics fashion, but it just works, and it works well, without constant need of maintenance and upgrades.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!
