This month at SoCoSA we'll be covering BackupPC, a popular and very full 
featured open source backup system. BackupPC supports backup through 
SMB, tar/gz over SSH or NFS, or rsync. The killer feature of BackupPC is 
file pooling, which allows identical files from different backups, or 
even different systems, to take up only the space of a single file on 
the backup server. This allows moderately priced backup servers to 
vastly increase the number of system they can backup, the retention 
period of backups, or both.
