| Burt is a freely distributed parallel network backup system. It is designed to backup large heterogeneous networks. It uses the Tcl scripting language and standard backup programs like dump and GNUTar to enable backups of a wide variety of data sources, from UNIX and Windows NT workstations to AFS storage and others. Burt supports parallel backups to ensure high backup speeds, and checksums to ensure data integrity. Burt is used at the University of Wisconsin, Madison to backup data from 350 workstations and from our AFS servers, a total of roughly 900 GB every two weeks. |
