Just my $0.02 worth. Re: to disk backups. I think it is good Amanda has/is adopting this, but for pure disk to disk backup purposes, I fail to see the advantage over just doing tars and scp'ing them where I need/want to store them. Re: GUIs. I don't know, but I would suspect Sun's motivation to work on the GUI has more to do with the fact that more and more developers/admins are coming into the workforce that are totally lost when faced with a command line. Sadly, the number of users who know and love the command line is shrinking daily.
