NetBSD's Real-Time Network Backup

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the old-hardware-power dept.

jschauma writes "One of NetBSD's developers, der Mouse, was interviewed by DaemonNews about his real-time network backup system (originally presented at BSDCan 2005), where changes to your local filesystem are automatically propagated to a backup server. In his interview der Mouse tells about his idea, how it works, and of course, how cool it is."

    But hasn't Sun been doing this with Solaris for at least 3 years?

    Yes, but do you want to sell your children and a kidney for a Solaris server?

    Actually, he's letting the realtimeness (whatever in the heck THAT is) out of its cage, letting it loose.

    That it runs away and hides where nobody can find it. So he also does lose it, but only because he loosed it.
