Okay. I have not found other good alternatives.
Bacula: Their (currently) rudimentary support for AFS is sadly totally
undocumented and no help on their mailinglist.
Teradactyl: It is a bit out of my budget.
BackupAFS: (BackupPC fork) It does not seem that maintained, and my
experience with it are not too impressive.
amanda-afs: I don't use Amanda, but that could maybe be an alternative.
vos dump: I would have to write a bunch of code taking care of scheduling
etc.
Re BackupAFS. Please don't equate no new versions with not being "that
maintained." It just means that it's *stable*: working great for me and no
one has reported any bugs.
In the interest of full disclosure, I've answered questions for a few
people who were installing it and most problems are traced to not carefully
reading the docs or else are environmental and unique to their cells and
servers. Also at least one person was attempting to install on MacOS X and
that platform is "unique" enough that I wasn't able to provide lots of
help.
I am aware of several sites that are using it successfully, and at least
one of them is working on support to handle how it behavies when any of the
source volume(s) within a VolumeSet are offline, with more grace.
I freely admit that the initial setup can be a bit complex, but that's why
the verbose documentation exists.
If you have had specific issues with it, please feel free to email me
directly and I'll do my best to help you off-list!
Cheers,
Stephen
