Hello, fellow Amanda Users.
I have been running Amanda as a secondary backup for one of my clients.
They have a mix of Linux and WIndows servers. Currently I am backing
up the Windows servers using SMB shares (either the shares themselves or
via the "administrative" share for each drive)
I was looking at the the open source Windows client, and am wondering if
ti offers any advantages in my use, or if I am better off staying with
the SMB method?
I do know one "con" of using the Windows client is I won't be able to
recover individual files or folders from a backup; I would have to
extract the entire DLE and then either restore that, or open the
resulting archive and extract what I need. That is a little but of an
issue, but one I can work around if there are other advantages.
Is there maybe a comparison chart somewhere of the two methods?
Thanks! :-)
Regards,
Alan
