Amanda recommendations, please.

[Jason Hines]

Hi, I was hoping I could explain my server setup and situation, and someone could tell me if Amanda would be the best solution.

I am administrating 4 servers, one of which is a dedicated backup server.

I'd like to backup certain files/directories from all 3 of the server onto a harddisk on the backup server.

I could easily accomplish this with a Perl script using rsync/tar, but I'm wondering about the advantages Amanda would have over this.

Any recommendations / advice appreciated, thanks.
