http://www.osoffice.de/downloads/viewcategory-7.html

The features as listed on the homepage for the script:

  • Secure, Archives with strong encryption
  • Archive compression
  • Optional Off-site copying of archives
  • MD5 checksums for integrity checks
  • Weekly backup rotation – 1 Full & 6 Diff’s per rotation
  • Email report on Full backup
  • Email notification on errors
  • Backup file lists
  • Installer & Setup option for quick deployment

For me this pretty much ticks all the boxes, compression and encryption, md5 checksums, also including full and diff backups for optimal usage of space and bandwidth when transferring offsite and to top it all off nice little emails when things go wrong!

More details on usage to follow, including the restore procedure!
