As the title say i'm in search for a backup application/system.
Currently i manage my backups with a little script that i wrote... but it does not really serve my needs anymore. I want to be able to make backups on my main PC and also on my server, the backups i would then store on my NAS.

Make a long story short:
Have you guys a recommendation for me?
Is there a specific application you use for your backups guys?

Btw: I dont mind configuring or playing around with new applications, every recommendation is welcome ;)


Here is my current backup script (Which is run by cron daily):
#!/bin/bash

TO_BACKUP="/home /etc /var/log"
BACKUP_DIR="/var/backup"
BACKUP_ARCHIVE="backup-`date +%d_%m_%Y-%H:%M`.tar"
TAR_OPTIONS='-cpf'

delete_old_backup() {
        if [ -f ${BACKUP_DIR}/backup*.tar ]; then
                rm -rf $BACKUP_DIR/backup*
        fi
}

create_new_backup() {
        tar $TAR_OPTIONS ${BACKUP_DIR}/$BACKUP_ARCHIVE $TO_BACKUP
}

main() {
        delete_old_backup
        create_new_backup
}

main
