After all the good suggestions by several people from
this list, I think we will go with dump and restore. I used to
use dump around ten years ago when our departmental Unix work
station was a Sun and I don't ever remember it letting us down,
even after something dreadful happened to the

If you're looking for something serious (I mean with
incremental/differential/full backups, retension periods, pools, multi
platform, tape/file/dvd support, ...) I highly suggest Bacula
(http://www.bacula.org).
I use it successfully at work since two years (we used Amanda before) to
backup 10+

What we plan to do is backup a bunch of Unix systems to

suitable for full-system backups.) Dump fully supports the concept of
full/partial backups in a robust manner. (It has other useful features

Is it possible to pull out individual files? A fellow sysadmin asked
me that years ago and I didn't have an answer for him.

Most certainly. Use the restore function. Interactive mode is easiest
for a small number of files.
Doug's correct. The interactive mode of restore, with its
shell-like interface, is probably easiest if you're just looking for

Several months ago, I started using dar to backup a
number of FreeBSD and Linux systems to one FreeBSD box. It
worked fine once one got the syntax of the remote commands
working, but then it all died when I moved it to a new
FreeBSD6.3 system.

It doesn't use tar, but I've had great luck with rsnapshot
(http://www.freshports.org/sysutils/rsnapshot/ -
http://www.rsnapshot.org/) for backing up multiple RedHat Linux and
FreeBSD servers to a central server over SSH.
Thanks
