Bontmia
Bontmia is a network-based backup tool that saves configurable numbers of last month, week, day, hour, and minute backups. Each backup is a complete snapshot of the original directories, and only new and changed files take up space when generating snapshots because of the use of hard links. Remote access is secure by using SSH. Only changes are transferred, which makes for a fast backup.

Recent commentsI like this script, and use it since years for both business and private usage. Simple to use (so simple that I never switched to dirvish) and reliable.
You need to integrate the call to bontmia into a shell script (called by cron) which will care for whatever needed (and specific to your servers) like services stopping/starting, volume mounting/unmounting, etc.
Many thanks to John Enok Vollestad.
Nice!
Nice job! Really thanks for John Enok Vollestad!
