Suggestions for open source backup program
Hi linux-il, I need a backup software for linux that should: 0. Be open source. 1. Support tape backup. 2. Be liberal with cartridge order within a backup set. (We have a bad experience with afbackup being overly strict, we had to waste time with fixing things every time a customer insert the wrong backup cartridge) 3. Be able to manage large amount of data (10s of GBs) . 4. Support backup over network (i.e. the backup tape drive may reside on another machin on the LAN) 5. Support simultaneous network backups from many clients to one backup server. Any suggestions? TIA baruch = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Suggestions for open source backup program
Not sure about (5) (but one can devise himself a solution for that), I think dump should be able to do it http://dump.sourceforge.net/ || http://sourceforge.net/projects/dump/ You can use rsh (or more secure alternatives) combinations for remote backup. Although this sounds too much of a hand work, this is actually not too complicated. dump interactive mode helps your life as a sysadmin a lot when that user comes a long with a shy smile on his face... :-) Boaz.
