http://security.uchicago.edu/tools/gpg-amanda/ Amanda is a wonderful program, and highly recommend it. And I recommend "Unix Backup & Recovery" from O'reilly, Every admin who maintains unix backups should read it. http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/unixbr/ One thing to keep in mind is the version of dump that is current for redhat 7.2, 0.4b22 has problems with the 2.4 kernel, and will fail on some filesystems, while others work fine. The rawhide dump 0.4b25 has fixed the problem for me.
