It's not the first time people are pleasantly surprised by the power of the amanda backup programs :-) >From the wiki page, I mentioned: RAIT with only two drives, creates a perfect copy of the data: a mirror of your backup. Each of these mirrors is be handled by its own output driver: one of the mirrors can write to a real tape device, and the other mirror can write a virtual tape (vtape) using the "file" driver. The vtapes can be used for fast recovery, and the tapes can be stored offsite. >> http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Rait -- Paul Bijnens, xplanation Technology Services Tel +32 16 397.511 Technologielaan 21 bus 2, B-3001 Leuven, BELGIUM Fax +32 16 397.512 http://www.xplanation.com/ email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *********************************************************************** * I think I've got the hang of it now: exit, ^D, ^C, ^\, ^Z, ^Q, ^^, * * F6, quit, ZZ, :q, :q!, M-Z, ^X^C, logoff, logout, close, bye, /bye, * * stop, end, F3, ~., ^]c, +++ ATH, disconnect, halt, abort, hangup, * * PF4, F20, ^X^X, :D::D, KJOB, F14-f-e, F8-e, kill -1 $$, shutdown, * * init 0, kill -9 1, Alt-F4, Ctrl-Alt-Del, AltGr-NumLock, Stop-A, ... * * ...
