Description

SME Server implementation of rsync to perform nightly backup to a mounted drive. With a server-manage panel

in case of disaster, you could use the action /etc/e-smith/events/actions/rsync-restore and the backup disk will be used as a traditional tape to restore from to your server your whole backup.
