BackupPC version 2.0.0 has been released on SourceForge, see
http://backuppc.sourceforge.net.  New features include support
for rsync/rsyncd and internationalization of the CGI interface
(including English, French, Spanish and German).

BackupPC a high-performance perl-based package for backing up linux,
unix or WinXX PCs and laptops to a server's disk.  BackupPC is highly
configurable and easy to install and maintain.  SMB, tar or rsync
are used to extract client data.

Given the ever decreasing cost of disks and raid systems, it is now
practical and cost effective to backup a large number of machines onto
a server's local disk or network storage.  This is what BackupPC does.

BackupPC can be used as a complement to Amanda, for example to stage
backups from many desktop machines prior to dumping onto tape.

Key features are pooling of identical files (big savings in server disk
space), compression, and a comprehensive CGI interface that allows users
to browse backups and restore files.

BackupPC is free software distributed under a GNU GPL license.
BackupPC runs on linux/unix/freenix servers, and has been tested
on linux, unix, Win95, Win98, Win2000, WinXP and Mac OSX clients.

Enjoy!
