[nzlug] Backups for dummies

[Michal Ludvig]

Hi all,

I have a customer with many offices around the country, each equipped 
with a small Linux server. These servers need to be backed up, say once 
a week or two do a full backup, and every day either data only or some 
increments. The backups must go to DVD-R (most servers won't need more 
than one or two disks) and the day to day operation will be handled by 
untrained office staff (put a new DVD media in and eventually push a 
button on the screen).

I generally prefer online backups (rsync & rdiff & friends) but that's 
not an option here. I have no experience with the regular 
backup-to-some-media things and don't know which one to chose and which 
one is easy to operate by ... ehm ... monkies.

What do you recommend?

Thanks!

Michal
