Time to Backup" is a suite of programs that allow to set up a scheduled backup of Interbase or Firebird databases on multiple hosts. The tools come with full sources, written in Object Pascal. It has the following features:
On Windows NT (2000 or XP) the scheduler works as a service.
On Linux, the service works as a simple daemon, and can be run by any user.
A GUI configuration tool allows to set up various backup sets and to control the scheduler. This tool works on Windows and Linux.
A separate service or daemon can be installed to allow remote registration: The GUI tool can connect to the remote adminstration daemon to manage the configuration on a remote host
Time To Backup is available in three packages:

Windows package
Linux package with configuration manager (requires X)
Linux package with daemons only (does not require X)
System requirements:

Binaries:
Windows NT, 2000 or XP to run service. No special hardware requirements. The Interbase client must be installed.
On Linux any recent platform which has at least glibc 2.2, QT and X installed should work. This means SuSE 7.0 of higher, RedHat 7 or higher and Mandrake 7.2 or higher. If only a daemon is running (no X) only glibc 2.2.3 is required.
To compile sources Delphi 5,6 or 7 is required on Windows, and Kylix 2 or 3 on Linux. Furthermore Indy 9 is required if the remote configuration module is needed.
