Any backup-centered Linux distros ?!?

There used to be one called RESTORE ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/restore/?source=directory ) but it has been abandoned since 2009.

I am considering how to go about backing up the family's files.
Alot of stuff is stored on an aging (shared via LAN) PC that runs 24/7.

So I'm thinking of maybe using another PC as a backup-only box.
That RESTORE system has in it's favour that it can be controlled via a browser log-in from any PC on the network.

The other option I'm considering is just to add additional storage to our IPFire box and share it via Samba to use as a backup storage.
That would work OK too because the backup would be done while everybody is asleep.

I'm just curious if there's any current backup/restore oriented Linux distros these days - and that's really my question here.

Thanks.

Sorry

 

Not Linux but FreeBSD based...FreeNAS.

 

check clear OS and Zentyal

also check these

Redo Backup and Recovery

you can backup on server

and

CloneZilla

http://clonezilla.org/

 

still hoping...?

Thanks.
What I mentioned in the OP is unlike most of what has been suggested.

I have tried ClearOS - and it is not adequate - but since I've got IPFire (which is GREAT BTW), it is not what I seek.

Clonezilla is not what I'm looking for (and I very much dislike using it).

Redo Backup is FANTASTIC - for a boot CD one uses manually - it is not for the type of backup sought in my OP.

Zentyal gave me a headache just trying to decipher all the corpy-speak on their web site, and I gave up on it.

FreeNAS is an option, as is NAS4Free - but again this leaves me wondering:
Why do that when I could either use the existing IPFire box, or very easily make a 2nd one for backup ONLY usage ??

IPFire is one of the best things I've ever found & used; combined with having a full backup on hand made with Redo, I can totally replace that box WITH all it's settings intact (except for assigning NICs) in about 1/2 hour.
This is as close to perfection as I've ever seen in the PC world !!!
