On the open source side of things, I'm a big fan of Amanda. You can find the original source and stuff at ftp://ftp.cs.umd.edu/pub/amanda, or at http://www.amanda.org/. On the closed source side of things, I'm a HUGE fan of Veritas' NetBackup product. Sadly, the current version supports Linux as a client, not a backup master, or media server. If you've got a lot of things to backup, I like the distributed Veritas scheme of things. It's pretty expensive, though. I've used both extensively, and recommend them. -db dave brookshire chief engineer eAgents.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] (703)383-6740 x120
