Windows Data Backup on Linux Server (SyncBack Details)

Hello Friends,

As I have posted my earlier post regarding Windows Data Backup on Linux Server, after reading the comments, I came to know the curiosity my friends to know more about this. As a blogger it becomes my responsibility to give more n more details to my friends.

I am feeling pleasure to give the details. Its completely one time installation and become tension free of your data backup.

Benefits :

1. Modes – Easy/Expert

2. Backup

3. Synchronization

4. Restoration

5. Finding your files (On Source & Destination)

6. Backup Scheduling

Friends, SyncBack works in two modes that are Easy & Expert modes. In Easy mode, we can take and restore backup from one device to another while in Expert mode, we can take and restore backup on remote machines/devices.

SyncBack can be used for Backup of data from Source to Destination and also supports synchronization i.e. compares the files on both source and destination.

Restoration can be done from Destination to Source but Running a restore operation is not reversible. So always be sure of data before restoration.

Data Selection on source and place for data store on destination is very simple. Data can be stored on FTP Server and Samba Server in Expert mode only.

SyncBackSE will run on the following Windows operating systems:

SyncBackSE requires Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows 2003

Windows Data Backup on Linux Server

I had a work to take backup of Windows Data Server on my Linux based backup server.

As a user, i never tried for such kind of things specially merging the data of two different platforms. Mostly services offered by the Windows are different from Linux. In Win XP, could not find a suitable service to backup and synchronization of data on live server.

I tried many Open Source utilities like Cygwin, Amanda Backup etc. These are very hectic and needs a lot of hardware involvement and requires a lot of settings.

One of my friends suggested me to try SyncBack at least once.



Its amazing, all the things which i needed found and works, in a very simple graphical settings.
