PS: Customize it by changing the TARGET and the FILESYSTEMS
As regards security, store it safely in a bank safe:-)
I use it with cron, but I can re-install the server in minutes.

Re: Backup program on FreeBSD for DLT drive
Well I have installed It but I find It quite confusing to configure… so I have just stopped; The problem is that I don't have a lot of time to really get into it… Did you use any good pointer or just take time to learn It the standard way… ?? I found It quite hard to configure to tell the truth! Le 22 janv. 09 à 20:51, Stephen Corbesero a écrit : I used to use Amanda on a small FreeBSD RAID server that used a single DLT drive. It held up pretty well.

Read §16.12 (Backup Basics) in the FreeBSD Handbook. You'll find the English version in /usr/share/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/backup-basics.html. For full backups dump(8) and mt(1) seem to be the tools of choice. If you use dump and you want encryption, you could pipe the dump output through openssl to encrypt it with e.g. the AES algorithm with a 256 bit key. Run 'openssl enc -help' to see the encryption algorithms available. All the tools mentioned above are available in the base system, which is a prequisite for restoring system partitions in my book. My own backup strategy is to write dumps or /, /usr and /var to an external USB harddisk or DVD, for an easy restore. For large data partitions I prefer to rsync(1) to a geli(8) encrypted partition on an external harddisk, because it is faster and more convenient than a dump.
