Hello,

Can anyone help me with the best solution for backup for or to external NAS (which package and how to install).

Who has experience with this

I would recommend checking out rsync for easy backups. Installing should be as easy as: apt-get install rsync. Then: man rsync to read the documentation.

Also check out rsnapshot

It's a set of scripts that can be scheduled to do incremental backups using rsync

Another option is backppc.
http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/

My friend uses it to backup all his computers (linux & Win). He loves it but I cannot personally vouch for it since I have not used it. However, it does look very good and is another option to throw in the mix.

If I try it I will post some comments here.
