I have been looking for something like bacula that could backup Windows |
2 |
also, I have found another backup software Backuppc, but have not tried it. |
3 |
It has a nice web interface, but I don't know if it is any good! |
4 |
|
5 |
Take a look at it: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/ |

|

Have any one had any experience with this backup software? |

Hi all, |
18 |
|
19 |
I'm wondering what everyone is using to back up their Gentoo servers. |
20 |
Right now I'm using Amanda which works fairly well but I'm thinking |
21 |
about changing over to something new. |
22 |
|
23 |
My environment: |
24 |
- 2 servers, about 120 gigs total disk space between them |
25 |
- a 75G (native) DLT tape library (Quantum 4500 with 15G tapes) |
26 |
|
27 |
What I like about amanda: |
28 |
- network backup, one server controls everything |
29 |
- point-in-time restore (I can choose to restore a file from last week |
30 |
and it will tell me what tape it needs) |
31 |
- decently reliable after initial setup |
32 |
- intelligent planning of incremental backups automatically |
33 |
|
34 |
What I don't like about amanda: |
35 |
- can't append to the previous day's tape (lots of tapes that only get |
36 |
15% full or so with incrementals) |
37 |
- large dumps cannot span multiple tapes |
38 |
- handling of above results in amanda spending hours writing to a tape |
39 |
just to start all over again on the next tape when it runs out of space |
40 |
- no GUI |
41 |
|
42 |
I want to find something that uses my tapes more effectively and wastes |
43 |
less time than amanda. What I don't want to loose is the indexing |
44 |
functions and the ability to backup both my servers (and as many more |
45 |
as I add in the future) without having to actually mount the partitions |
46 |
to be backed up to the backup server. |
47 |
|
48 |
Anyone have any thoughts? I've been poking around and I've found BURT |
49 |
but that doesn't seem to have any activity since 1999 or so. Bacula |
50 |
looks promising also (in fact right now it seems to be the closest to |
51 |
what I'm looking for). Anyone have any experience? |
52 |
