I realize it is a not amanda, but could you explain "3 tier directory lashup". I'm using amanda for backups, but new machines have filesystems that exceed my tape capacity (admittedly DDS3). Specifying directories that fit on tape seems like its only buying me some time ... and maybe not much. I use rsync to backup new machines until I have a directory structure that fits on tape, to move systems from one machine to another, and as an additional backup before upgrade (it's so comforting to see a copy of the whole system). rsync is fast (especially differentials), but I miss the redundancy of tapes.
