Need backup software recommendation
I would like to make a backup of my /home directory onto a NAS device, and have whatever software is used for the purpose update (new and changed files) every night, or perhaps everytime there is a period of inactivity. Any suggestions for a GUI package that will do this?
I do not want a complete backup each time, just the new or changed files. Also prefer software that backs up to a mirror of the original (i.e., uncompressed folders and files)
Using 10.4
TIA

I use backuppc. It will store how many full and incremental backups you configure, and with the period you desire, to your NAS,. It has a web GUI.
On that GUI you will, among other things, be able to see the changed files, restore a previous state (or just some files), configure what to backup, etc...
To create a mirror (of the last state, I guess that's what you mean) you may use rsync. rsync is also what backuppc will use, but storing in a compress form, and with hardlinks.
