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?
This question may go a bit off-topic, but why is backing up over a wireless network not an option?
