ubu is the universal backup utility

It will even backup your grandma. Seriously.

ubu - uber backup utility

Backs your stuff up and sends it to the next backup server.

Keeps track off all files to block or back up on /etc/ubu.lst.

Respects blocked files, locks into the backup server for the duration of the backup. Only sends when confed via TGT_SEND in cfg /etc/conf.d/ubu.

Tries to be as fast as possible about it, has lost all its fancy for complication.

Features

• compresses paths to your choice of archiver, really
• if inclined, can send this copy to a remote server
• can obey sophisticated schedules for backing up
• can obey storage regime for fi 30 days
• helps you to schedule runs via CRON
• can have blockers inside of paths to exclude them from being backed up
• keeps a human editable list of proceedings in /etc
• can take instructions from command line (path expansion)
