I got worried when Carbonite took over Zmanda, effectively throwing amanda under the bus. Amanda development slowed way down then. I just took a look at BETSOL. I think its time to fork. Run by an MBA, they will never commit the talent and manpower to keep it updated in the face of continued tar development. Fork it if someone has a long term interest in seeing a good, long term backup solution keep sucking air regularly.
