I have a SCSI Sony tape drive and auto changer ( TSL-9000L DDS Autoloader Unit). We have been doing backups using ArcServ 2000 on NT. I would very much like to replace this setup with a Linux solution. I would like to know what others are using as backup solutions and sould suggest for me. Does anyone use something that supports auto changers? Do you back up other remote servers? Even NT servers? Does everyone use scripts, with tar or cpio or is anyone using other software? Has anyone used AMANDA? Any input is appreciated. Thanks, Jason Joines ---------------------------------------------------------

HP has come out with a new linux solution that will backup linux,windows,and netware servers. http://www.tapeware.com Scarlett -- Scarlett Gately Network Administrator Excelco
I used Instant Recovery before, basically it loads Mandrake and then launches a graphical utility that you can make backups to. But, it will only back up whole partitions, rather than indivdual data. You cannot go in and backup one piece of data. Matt -- "The only thing complex about Linux are the users themselves." On Tue, 12 Jun 2001, Scarlett Gately wrote:
