Nope, just a single server with a moderately large filesystem. > If you just want the standard backups, Veritas Netbackup is good. I was looking at that.

I wonder if Veritas has fixed that bug? If so, we should be able to get the source from them (per the GPL). On the other hand, I wonder if they have not fixed the bug, and we will still have the problem? Or, on the third hand, maybe they bypass it by splitting archives over tapes outside of GNU tar.
