Multi-machine backup solutions
- by Paul
I have a growing number of PCs and laptops in my home that need a backup solution. My question is 2 fold:
Most commercial backup vendors
appear to license by the machine,
are there any products that give a
license that can be used on all your
machines, without a per machine
cost?
An alternative is to have a
centrally controlled back up
strategy controlled from a single PC
with an attached hard drive that can
back up other machines on the
network. What backup software is
suitable for this approach? Will
this software be windows/Linux
interoperable?
I've searched for duplicate questions but don't see anything that addresses the multi machine/cost issue.
OSs in network will be Windows (XP, Vista, 7) and Linux variants.
Not pattern to when machines will be switched on.
