There is no 2GB limit on tar, only for ZIP files. Or are you using software from 1980ies? ;-) > Am I going about this in the right way, I know that amanda and bacula are > out there but the backup-pc provides the right information in a simple to > understand web UI. I have my BackupPC server generate .tar.bz2 archives from servers each day. Bacula picks them up (actually, Bacula starts the archiving script as BeforeJob) and saves them to tape. It's time I publish the script - it's attached. Documentation is sparse - just have a look. IMO the outstanding feature of the script is that it has a runtime limit, so you get a guaranteed time your tape backup will run/finish. And it figures out what host to archive next automatically.
