Re: Backup Solution

Yes.  It is java.  There is a process that runs all the time in the
background and there is a desktop app that you can start to connect to it
and control it and its config.  I have it running on a single Linux server
that is my file server.  You can tweak the desktop app to connect to a
remote host over an ssh tunnel so you can control the server process that
runs on a headless machine.  You can control when backups run, how much
bandwidth they can take, how much CPU they can take, etc etc.  Also what
incremental version to keep (hourly, weekly, monthly, etc) and how long.
