If you're backing up to tape, amanda is great. As long as a single tape will be enough per filesystem (otherwise you'll have to tweak things). But.. If you want to backup to something else than tape (e.g. CDs), then I don't think amanda can help you. -- ______________________________________________________________ /\ \ \_| *DISCLAIMER* I do not know exactly what I'm talking about. | | Large grains of salt recommended to aid in digestion. | | _________________________________________________________|_ \_/___________________________________________________________/
