Amanda is probably overkill for your situation. > Is there a simpler software package ? Heh, well "simple" doesn't necessarily mean easy to use. In that vein, take a look at mt for controlling the drive, tar, dump (for ext2/3 only), or cpio for performing the actual backups. > Any good HOW-TO's lying about ? Section 12 of the Linux System Administrators Guide has some examples of using tar for tape backups. http://www.tldp.org/LDP/sag/backups.html Rob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
