Midnight Backup is a flexable framework composed of plugins that will allow system administrators to develop sophisticated backup systems.
It will be cross-network and cross-platform, allowing clients to submit data to servers for backup purposes. It will have a high level of admin control though filters and a pervasive "plug-in" architecture. Midnight Backup will be under an Open Source/Free Software license.
