So, I was happily using Crashplan to backup to local machines and have considered setting up a remote machine for really important stuff. That's gone now, so I'm wondering if anyone has a backup setup that can take over? I'm doing some manual stuff right now, but it's annoying time consuming.
LAN based backups between local machines is a priority. I don't want everything to be cloud based, in particular because I'm stuck with data-capped internet with stupidly slow upload speeds.
OSX, Linux, and Windows support.
Ideally, I'd prefer all the clients push to a LAN server when they are running and the server can deal with replication and offsite as needed. Android support would be a bonus, but those are handled decently already.
The server side is easy enough. I have 2 Linux based servers on ZFS. Snapshots are already happening, zfs send/recv can be used for the more critical data. But OSX and Windows can't play here. They could backup to one or both of the servers and the ZFS replication could keep a second copy though.
There's Time Machine, but that only works OSX to OSX, and Windows isn't compatible. Ideally, at least OSX and Windows would use the same client. I have to maintain this, and would prefer not to have many different programs to deal with.
I probably will end up paying for hosting with Amazon Glacier or similar and uploading the more critical data to them. I don't mind this one being independant so long as I can run it on a Linux server to handle the slow upload.
It also needs to be somewhat automated. The biggest failure in any backup system I'm involved with is me.
