I've been using C2 Backup on my NAS for a few years now. It was simple to set up, and reasonably priced. I have multiple jobs scheduled to back up specific folders and app data each night. There are different ways that I can be notified of backup...

When I was new to linux I accidentally dumped a directory. > 100k files lost! I had to buy other s'ware to recover, still not out of the woods, as all 'filenames' were irretreivably separated from the files contents. The backup was *WORTHLESS*.
