-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 The other issue, which I will become pertinent as soon as we get our tape drive off a windows box, is that (correct me if I'm wrong) apparently XFS is the only FS that has a working dump in xfsdump. xfsdump also apparently can be used with amanda.
But I not amanda is not in the distro (although it is in Redhat). Why not? Don't we also need to do backups, or do the rest here running biggish networks rely on tar/mondo/custom script/commercial software?
