[Backup] Some Backup system for Linux(Open Source)

         I collected some backup systems which were recommended by linux players.

1. Amanda

    a. The most famous backup system, and also a primitive backup system in Unix like OS.
    b. Amanda backup/archive computers on a network to disk, tape or cloud storage.
    c. Multi-platform supported.

    On Ubuntu, we could install amanda via "apt-get install".
    Amanda also has a enterprise version, named "Zmanda".
    The book "Unix Backup & Recovery" took some introduction on Amanda.

    There are some reason that Amanda be recommend for main backup system:
    - Using native tools to perform the backup job. Such as tar, dump..., etc. Bug would fix as the OS upgrade and developers have no need to write code for it.
