Hehe :-) Einfach ist gut - also tar, cpio. Nur rate ich dringend davon
ab, selbst die Daten auf dem Band zu komprimieren, denn wenn mal ein Bit

Habe mir die tollen Pakete amanda, bacula, afbackup angesehen, finde die

Schlecht. Komprimierte Backups sind keine Backups, sondern im dümmsten
Fall (also immer genau dann, wenn ein Restore ansteht) nur noch weisses
Rauschen.
Lieber, wenn es schon Kompression sein muss, die

than mondo currently does.

I'm not sure about the recovery data, but p7zip will handle multivolume archives
and has a superior compression ratio to rar. Plus it is GPL.

Have you ever used a DVD+RW? You need no stinking erase phase. Just record

Does anyone backup to DVD? How many gigs can you fit on a DVD?
I backup certain files and directories to DVD all the time. DVD will
hold 4.7GB. Of course, if you backup using compression you can fit much
more than 4.7GB on a DVD.
