If you have 40GB per day, that would take 10 hours... a bit too
much :)
My setup (dump - USB 2) processes 22.8 Gbytes in a hair over 5
hours.

It's true, but amanda allows for a holding disk that the backups get
sent to, so the dumps themselves don't take so long. So, the other
machines that are being backed up, and do the real work in house, don't

Thanks, Olivier. The lack of a Recycle Bin for Samba shares had not occured to
me. I guess I should have each Windows client backup of all files modified that

My decade old Loader Express with ten 40 GB tapes finally died a couple
of months ago. So, I just switched over to a different style. I don't
know how applicable it is to your situation. I have used amanda for
years to manage tape drives. In the latest version they support backup
to hard disk.
Since tapes get expensive and disks are relatively cheap I went out and
bought a 300 GB USB disk drive for about $90.00. Right now I have amanda
configured to back things up onto 6 virtual tapes each of about 40GB,
