Bak is an easy-to-use backup server software that simplifies the backup process. It eliminates the need for installing client software on remote machines, making it hassle-free to deploy.
Bak is an automated backup server application that boasts simplicity and ease of use. One of its major advantages is that there is no need to install any client software on the remote machines.
Internally, Bak leverages the power of several Unix tools such as 'ssh', 'rsync' and the optional 'cron' for scheduling automated backups. Bak's use of hard links to old backups ensures that only new data is stored, taking up less space while still allowing for full backups.
Bak can backup multiple remote clients of any operating system that has rsync installed and ssh enabled. Additionally, the application can be configured to send email notifications upon completion of backups. Bak even has the option of running automated backups even when no account is logged in.
It is important to note that Bak was originally developed for personal use and is thus not supported by any help or support. Users are cautioned to use this software at their own risk. For those interested in backing up their local machine, simply set the "Remote Host" to "localhost".
Overall, Bak is a simple but powerful solution for those in need of a reliable, easy-to-use backup solution.
