Pardon me, I am a newbie, I have been lurking here for a while, observing. I have noticed a recent panic over taper not working over 4GB.
I have been doing Unix (mostly SCO-Caldera) for over 20 years, only recently took up SME. If you guys have stuff that is really mission-critical on SME, for backup and disaster recovery you should take a look at one of the "supertars". I use Microlite's BackupEdge, www.microlite.com , have for many years. It is low cost and works great, tons of features. Microlite has been ported to Linux for some time now. If you guys know Tony Lawrence (might be on this mail list), he can testify about the product also: http://pcunix.com/Reviews/supertars.html, http://www.pcunix.com/Reviews/backupedgess.html. BackupEdge is just like a tar, but is a supertar in that it can do all the shortcomings of regular tar. Good support. I will not build a real, mission-critical application server without the product. I require customers by it. It pretty much has a simple formula: It makes a set of custom emergency boot disks, sets up automatic, nightly backups using bit-by-bit verify. With those disks and any nightly backup, I can assist a novice customer at complete disaster recovery, over the phone, it is that easy. BackupEdge also has an easy interfaces for installing, automatic configuration, and admin of all of this, and more features-galore. It is not open source. But it is so complete and feature packed, and reliable, I can't imagine someone would need it. Now, why is everyone scrambling to get into a different anti-virus solution? And bugs? Who will cast the first stone here and name a system that does NOT have bugs? I have been enjoying, and benefiting by lurking in here, another good resource, thanks. -- Please report bugs to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] (only) to discuss security issues Support for registered customers and partners to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives by mail and http://www.mail-archive.com/devinfo%40lists.e-smith.org
