Any good linux scripts/web interfaces/GUIs for backing up to a remote server?
Hey all -
Anyone know of some decent scripts, web interfaces or GUIs that will backup directories on a remote server to the current server?

Thanks all!

@Yoda what errors did you encounter with CDP.me?
I made a github issue on one of the errors, but I also ran into -

I installed cdp on debian7
There maybe some bugs:
chown -R www-data:www-data /v[by pass cloudflare]ar/www]I tried to update google authenticator to latest version but no luck.

Thanks all for recommendations. I'll take a look at them all when I get home!
I do all my backups to remote servers with rsnapshot and a retention of at least 30 days. Works flawless since years and I would never change if I don't have to.

Currently trying it for encrypted backups to Hubic (Yes it will run on Linux with Mono)
Anyone tried Mega as a backup? It gives 50GB free which is great for backups unless your content is liked by NSA.

Mega storage is encrypted, right?
I believe so, but you never know.
