I'm using amanda. A cron job runs it and sends me email about what happened. Then I change the tape. I've been watching this thread, and Amanda seems an obvious solution. It takes a little doing to get it set up, but hey, this is *nix. Is there a problem with Amanda that I don't know about? -- Glenn English [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
