bdmn

bdmn is a backup system that operates on a client/server-oriented model. The backup process is executed on a daemon that runs on the targeted machine, while the client is installed on the machine where the backup information is stored. Despite its simplicity, bdmn is incredibly fast, making the entire process quick and efficient. The software is made portable to many different operating systems since it only employs tar, gzip, and Perl.

bdmn comes with a straightforward access control system that assures security when backing up important data. The software requires users to have GNU tar, gzip, and Perl, but beyond these requirements, there is no additional software or hardware to install.

In this latest version, the bdes encryption feature may now be used with a bdmn stream, and uuencode has been added to a bdmn stream to correct certain issues. Additionally, the check.pl feature has received an update that enables "make install" to generate bdmn.conf, removing the need for any user input. Finally, a few bugs have been fixed in this new release.

Overall, the bdmn backup system is a reliable and fast backup option that is worth considering, particularly for those who work across multiple operating systems.
