Hi
Ive spent a few days now looking for something i thought would be easy.
We have Synology NAS and have been using custom scripts to zip up a list of files on pc and servers and then FTP them to the NAS. The NAS then rsyncs them over to a DR site.The problem with our script is that it only runs if the user doesnt log off or take their laptop with them!
So id like to replace our scripts with a paid for client that would do the same job, but also catch up if the backup had not run the night before etc.
As the NAS is the central backup location, i assumed that there would be management software for the client software that would query the NAS folders directly to check the status of the backups.
I cant find anything which is not a full dedicated server install and/or a lot of money.
I'm pretty sure ive got a fairly easy requirement so surprised ive not seen anything.
Our requirement;
- 20 desktops
- 5 laptops
- 10 windows servers (mysql but no exchange/MSSql etc)
The client;
- A backup client that will send backups to a NAS (FTP/File share).
- The client backup schedule must cater for full and incremental.
- The client backups must be compressed (or rather i would prefer this)
- Ability for backups to run n times a day
- Ability for backups to be run if missed
- Ability for backups to run in the background for desktop user
The server module
- Check backup status
- View backup history
- show backup locations etc
Can anyone recommend anything?
