Linux Backup Solutions

I've been looking for the best Linux backup system, and also reading lots of HN comments.

Instead of putting pros and cons of every backup system I'll just list some deal-breakers which would disqualify them.

Also I would like that you, the HN community, would add more deal breakers for these or other backup systems if you know some more and at the same time, if you have data to disprove some of the deal-breakers listed here (benchmarks, info about something being true for older releases but is fixed on newer releases), please share it so that I can edit this list accordingly.

It has a lot of management overhead and that's a problem if you don't have time for a full time backup administrator.

	// This code installs a custom signal handler for the SIGSEGV signal
	// (segmentation fault) and then purposefully creates a segmentation
	// fault. The custom handler `handler` is then entered, which now
	// increases the instruction pointer by 1, skipping the current byte
	// of the faulty instruction. This is done for as long as the faulty
	// instruction is still active; in the below case, that's 2 bytes.

	// Note: This is for 64 bit systems. If you prefer 32 bit, change
	// `REG_RIP` to `REG_EIP`. I didn't bother putting an appropriate
	// `#ifdef` here.

	To enable the feature one must set one of 2 environment variables either
	ITERM_24BIT or KONSOLE_DBUS_SESSION. The former will enable ITU T.416 mode, the
	latter will use semi-colon seperators used by other terminals (and also
	supported by iterm development branch).
