NVnetbackup is a basic backup system for data in a small and medium businesses networked environment. It offers a simple framework to backup and secure data.
NVnetbackup is powered by common Linux tools, so it's highly portable and easy to configure. A single configuration file controls its behavior, and you can run it using simple command-line options, such as '-p' to prepare a drive, '-m' to mount defined shares, '-u' to unmount those shares, and '-b' to run a backup.
Setting up NVnetbackup is a breeze. As root, you just need to create a directory for it ("/etc/NVnetbackup"), extract the files from the tarball, and copy them to that directory. Then, you can customize the backup.conf file to suit your needs.
The latest release of NVnetbackup includes a fix for a bug that caused some shares to appear mounted or unmounted incorrectly. All in all, this is a reliable and hassle-free backup solution that's well worth consideration for your SMB network or local data backups.
