> I used to have a "poor man's time machine" system based on rsync + hard links to files that didn't change with new backups.
I build something similar, that runs on a Raspberry Pi and creates backups for the machines in my home network [0]. The Pi pings each machine every hour, if a machine is online and a backup is due, it starts a backup process. My Pi uses a USB battery as a UPS (unlimited power supply) [1]. I put all the hardware in a little medicine cabinet on the wall [1]. It's been running stable for month now, without a single reboot. It needs about 15 minutes to backup my dev machine over WiFi. It's a little independent backup module, I'm really happy with it. :)
