[wplug] Backup tool?

[Sam Al-Droubi]

Thank you all for the responses.  I looked at BackupPC and Bacula and they looked like an enterprise wide solution and time-consuming to set up.  The closest think I could find similar to ntbackup on Windows is command-line script written with tar. 

I am just looking to a backup my desktop to a nfs or a usb drive.  I don't know how easy it is to setup rsync and if it does keep older versions of the files.   Any comments?

Thank you.

I want to backup my files to a USB hard drive or network drive (nfs).  On Windows XP, I used to use ntbackup.  Is there a similar tool on Linux to use?
   
 Thank you.
