looking for backup software
I am looking for some software to backup my data. These are on total 30 GB, so it needs some DVDs to backup everything. I could divide my data manuelly into 8x4 GB chunks und burn them one after the other.
Dividing everything into 4 GB parts is a stupid job. I would prefer if there was a programm that would do this for me and just tell me to insert CD 3/6 and 4/6 and so on. The dir-structure should remain on the cds, even if the content of one dir is split over several CDs. The main point is the everything should be in the same place if one copies all the cds back to the computer.
Is there some program like that ?

RE: looking for backup software
Yes, use 'dar' for this task. And there's a KDE frontend as well: kdar (surprise surprise). It can split up archives into pieces, such that it fits on CD, DVD, floppy, ZIP, whatever.

I have looked at kdar, but that stores into a spezial fileformat. That means that I am locked to unix, since I do not know a windows tool.
And there is another reason, I cannot use dar - I cannot access the files directly. For example, if I backup my mp3 then compression is useless and I would want to access the mp3 on the backup medium directly.
So I am somehow looking for a programm that creates k3b files for burning with maximum Medium sizes.

For what's it's worth, nowadays I use rdiff-backup, which does a pretty good job. Incremental backup + accessing your files directly.

I am using WinBackup, worthfull
For a free backup program you wont get too many features but as you asking only for 30 GB i think you can find a lot but i recommend to use Dmailer
http://www.dmailer.com/dmailer-backup.html they also offer online storage for backups if you need any.
The software is free and after my oppinion is the best software i ever used and found because has a lot of other features than all other free softwares.
Take care
looking for backup software
Hi,
I'm looking for a Software for Mac OS X to backup my NAS (mounted via
samba share) to an external hard drive connected to my iMac.
With Windows I used SyncBack SE (from 2BrightSparks Pte Ltd). But there is no more Windows now ...
Usually most backup software is designed to use a network device as a
backup destination but struggle if you want to backup a network device
to a local hard drive. For my local system backup I use Time Machine but
I didn't found an option to backup my NAS with Time Machine, too.
Any suggestion is welcome
