I needed an extremely simple backup system that would allow me to do incremental backups to a remote system aswell as easy recovery. Pmb is that tool. It's crude and simple.
You'll need to setup a pmb.rc in /usr/local/etc. You can use the one I have as a reference if you want. Grab it here (pmb.rc). This file should be self explanatory enough.
Once you've configured that file, you can start backing up. Each machine will need it's own pmb.rc in /usr/local/etc.
pmb -B
pmb -C [files]
pmd -R [files]
PMB is just a shell script. You'll need the following:
If you have any comments or whatnot about this, hate or love, lemme know. It works for me, if it doesn't work for you then whatever. Ask and maybe I can help.
