Agreed. I have absolutely no doubt that amanda can handle extremely large installations, provided that the network can deliver the data to the amanda server within a reasonable backup window. > What are you backing up to now? I work at a university library and, in the past, we backed up to the central campus data center's backup service, but they charged an arm and a leg for it (and frequently "forgot" to do things like stop charging us for backups of decommissioned machines), so we switched to doing backups via the law school four or five years ago. But the law school's sysadmins have never been terribly responsive and they've had a few problems recently with failures (for their other customers) which we only heard about some time later, so we don't really trust them any more and have (finally) decided to do it for ourselves. But I don't really know anything about the hardware or configuration that the law school is using, only that their chosen software is Tivoli Storage Manager. -- Dave Sherohman
