If you ever administered systems in Brazil, chances are you learned something on Dicas-L. Founded by Rubens Queiroz de Almeida at Unicamp’s Computing Center in 1997, the portal has published a Unix/GNU/Linux tip of the day for almost three decades — training generations of Brazilian sysadmins, growing past 21,000 subscribers and keeping an open archive of thousands of articles.
On July 28, that very publication — very likely the longest-running and most respected free-software outlet in the country — devoted a technical review to NGBackup, the Brazilian data-protection platform written in Rust. The review highlights:
- ⚡ New code in Rust — none of legacy C’s memory vulnerabilities
- ⚡ Distributed architecture: Director, agents, storage and a PostgreSQL catalog
- ⚡ Global deduplication, anti-ransomware WORM immutability, AES-256-GCM
- ⚡ VM Instant Recovery, V2V conversion across hypervisors, HA with quorum
- ⚡ Free Community edition and data sovereignty
