Synbak is an application designed to unify several backup methods. It provides a powerful reporting system and a very simple interface for configuration files. It can make backups using rsync (via crypted ssh, rsync, SMB, and CIFS protocols), tar (tar, tar.gz, and tar.bz2) archives, tape (even using multi-loader changer tapes), MySQL databases, Oracle database, LDAP directories, CDR/CD-RW/DVR/DVD-RW, wget HTTP/FTP mirrors, and more. It can generate final reports via email, HTML pages, and RSS feeds. Developers can easily write new backup methods, reports, and translations.License: GNU General Public License v3Changes:
