non-amanda backup recommendations

As anathema as this question might be: I need to recommend a Linux backup solution (or a backup solution with a Linux client) that will span tapes. Are there any recommendations from the list on commercial options? Thanks. -- Matthew Boeckman (816) 777-2160 Manager - Systems Integration

chg-scsi linu

Hi Guys, I am having a hard time configuring my chg-scsi.conf file. I am running amanda-2.4.2-2-7 on Redhat 7.3 with an ADIC FastStor DLT7000 connected to an adaptec raid card 2100S. How do I find out with /dev/sgX settings to use in the chg-scsi.conf file?? Thanks Axel

Re: chg-scsi linu

I'm running amanda on redhat with the mtx package and the chg-zd-mtx (which fits to the mtx of redhat at least on 8.0) works like a charm though i've modified it a little bit to not create wrong files when invoked without a config file. Works like a charm Udo On Tue, 2002-12-17 at 16:57, Axel

Re: non-amanda backup recommendations

Hi Matthew there is afbackup that will allow you to span tapes. afbackup.sourceforge.net As for support, its woeful, the mailing list is pretty dead and support via the author is non-existant. I am currently running amanda alongside afbackup, till one day I figure how afbackup works properly.
