Re: [dubailug] OSS alternative to veritas

[Sean Craig - Snr Solutions Consultant - enigmatis]

Hi, I did a quick google and found 2 main references for Amanda: http://www.amanda.org/     Seems to be part of the original project http://amanda.zmanda.com/     Seems to be a supported (and improved?) version.  This site has a community (free) and supported enterprise version.  It would also appear that they have developed an agent (push?) Haven't got the time to check it out - maybe you can report back what you find......   Regards Sean Akshay Lamba wrote: Sean Craig - Snr Solutions Consultant - enigmatis wrote: Most backup systems are push-based for efficiency. One example of this is to compress, or encrypt backup data before sending across the network to the backup server. You can't do this with a pull solution. A second example is where SAN-attached servers should backup data directly to the SAN-attached tape library. Again, can't be done with a pull solution. Something like AMANDA is pull-based, but extremely inefficient, especially if you have large data sets. I___________________________________ Thanks Sean. How about OSS push based backup solutions? Preferably a client-server architecture. Regards, Akshay Yahoo!
