Hello,
I have some rather general questions regarding Amanda that I could not
find the answers to on the online documentation. I am contemplating an
'upgrade' to my existing backup system (currently a collection of perl
scripts tied to a postgres database). I backup a moderate amount of data
on a DAT drive from 8 client computers and caching of backups can be
done on the server.
What I really would like to do is have an easy to maintain client-server
system whereby normal users of the system can recover their own 'lost'
files. From what I read, it is only possible for root users to recover
files from the Amanda system. Is this still the case?
My OS of choice is FreeBSD for the server but the clients are RedHat
6.x-7. What other free packages would people suggest as alternatives?
Many thanks,
Randall
