<snip>
I usually backup /var /etc /home /usr/local /usr/src and /root sometimes more, sometimes less, depends on the purpose of the system.
my primary backup uses rsync, my homebrew rsync script is available here: http://portal.aphroland.org/resources/rsync/rsync-script.tar
for longer term I use BRU(not freeware), and I use regular BRU not BRU Pro(which I do NOT trust). I have another script which manages my BRU stuff. I tried setting up amanda a year or 2 ago but was not successful(forget what the problem was). BRU has a lot of error checking and correcting code and it has NEVER ever failed me(BRU Pro was a nightmare by contrast). I think I use BRU 16(really old version).
for databases like ldap and mysql I setup scripts to dump the databases to text files and bzip them so they can be archived onto tape as well.
my tape drive is a kickass exabyte mammoth external scsi drive, really beautiful drive. At my last job we used DLT4000 and DLT8000s for backing up.
