Just found this when I was looking for a "bare-metal" backup solution for our critical Linux servers (and I didn't want to pay $500/server to Unitrends for their bare-metal Linux backup.) We already have a full backup system in place for our virtual machines, but the physical servers just have filesystem-level backup, not really a "bare metal" backup that we could use to restore the entire system, in the case of a failed hard drive or something. I got Relax and Recover (REAR) installed on a little test CentOS box and it is a pretty sweet backup system. I can do a full restore of the server from the original hard drive (via a separate bootloader that REAR installs) or by booting up from a CD that REAR creates whenever a backup job runs. I've done test restores onto the original hard disk, onto a brand new, slightly larger hard disk, and even restored the original physical machine backup onto a VMware virtual machine, which worked perfectly. Anyone else use this system? Any input on it? I'm just getting my feet wet with it, but I really like what I see.
