Backup linux to Window server securely on schedule


Hi guys. Im working with a couple of linux boxes. The central backup machine is Windows and I need to backup my linux boxes, then transfer those backup files to Windows backup server.

Some files are important, so we need them transferred encrypted. We also need authentication between linux client and Windows server, make sure only those machines are allowed to transfer backup files

So far, we havent found any apps which meets our needs

May be a simple Windows scp client with schedule would be a good solution?

my 2c.

I was thinking of cygwin with rsync. That way you can have a rsync server running on the windows box and have the Linux boxes send the data across via ssh (encrypted). That way you minimise on bandwidth too.

Sounds good; rsync has an ssh option built-in. Use Auth-keys and disable password Auth for ssh.
