I've recently implement Veritas' Backup Exec software (Backup server is NT) (formerly owned by Seagate) (www.veritas.com). The current version is very robust and has nice remote management capabilities. Among other things it backs up a TON of different UNIXs. Support for various distributions of Linux (including 5.2 and 6.0, which we are runnin Netatalk on) is included in their 'multi-server' version. This program backs up ALL Linux file perfectly (including Windows, OS/2, Mac files residing on the server). I recommend buying the software from Micro Warehouse ( http://www.warehouse.com/DataComm/Networking_Software/Utilities/Back_Up/ ) as they have the best prices available. Just though I'd share..... :) -- - Matthew Keller - Lead Programmer/Analyst Distributed Computing and Telemedia State University of New York at Potsdam Web: http://mattwork.potsdam.edu/ PGP: http://mattwork.potsdam.edu/crypto/
