LBackup is a simple backup system aimed at systems administrators who require reliable backups with minimum fuss. It is configured with configuration files, and the backup is started from the command line. It has been tested for over 10 years. Backups can be to local media, or to remote media via one or more networks. The networks may be private LANs, WANs, or sets of untrusted public networks such as the Internet.
Silktree updates the /etc/passwd and /etc/group files on a list of child nodes via SSH. At the lowest level, six Debian system utilities are employed: {add,del}{user,group}, {user,group}mod. The information is transferred from the head-node to the child-nodes. Several sudo-capable mini-scripts on the child nodes ensure limitations while committing the changes. End-to-end checking ensures a reliable update.
