<p>A bit late to this party, but if you're looking for an offsite
backup service I've been using Jotta Cloud and so far it's pretty
nice. Natively supports linux. Not too expensive either. I'm

concerns RAID in an indirect way. My Tops-20 systems are
backed up on a quarterly basis and those backups
compressed and moved to alternate storage. However, I
have never backed up any of the Ubuntu systems and,
although I am running SSD media, some of this is quite old
and I'm starting to feel uncomfortable out it.</div>

<p class="">Were you aware of any winning backup
solutions? I can restore Tops-20 to bare metal, but I
really don't remember how to do this for Unix (although
I did know it for Ultrix at one point). So I starting
looking. Déjà Dup looks like it won't quite do what I
need, but since it uses duplicity, I started looking at
that.<br class="">

substitute for backup. This was probably more true in the
days where a hardware RAID controller error introduced a
single point of failure; it may still be true for a
software RAID.</div>

<div class="">Take a look at Veeam, specifically the “Community
Edition”. You should also be able to take a look at the "Veeam
Agent for Linux”, as you can simply run it on your Linux box,
and point it at an NFS share or USB disk. The community edition
of Veeam Backup and Recovery allows you to backup 10 Physical or
Virtual systems for free. It’s only downside is that it needs
to run on Windows.</div>

<div class="">I do nightly Veeam backups of all the VMware VM’s
that run my virtual DEC systems. This has saved me in at least
one case.</div>

<div class="">Bare metal Veeam restores are an option, since you
asked about “Bare Metal”, but that’s something I’ve not tested.</div>
