Backup can be a simple task or a complex one depending upon what you need to backup and how frequently etc. You have the following options to begin with: 1. Simply do a tar of the relevant folders and write to the tape drive tar cpvf /dev/st0 / 2. Use a more advanced application like amanda which can schedule your backups and do incremental backup and maintain history for specified periods etc. 3. Use a commercial backup software like BRU I would recommend you checkout amanda and/or bru if your requirement is beyond a simple snapshot backup of a filesystem. http://www.amanda.org/ http://www.tolisgroup.com/ Mithun __________________________________ Yahoo!
