Hi there, |

I sent this to the gentoo-user list without much success, I hope in |
4 |
the server list there are more people doing backups... you know what |
5 |
they say: "there are only two kind of people: those doing backups and |
6 |
those that never lost any data". I hope I become one of the third kind, |
7 |
those that never lost any data but are doing backups :o) |

I'm searching for some backup software with the following requirements: |
10 |
|
11 |
* Capability to scale from a single machine to backups of full |
12 |
networks, including heterogeneous OS (Linux, Windows,...) |
13 |
* Capability to do full or incremental backups |
14 |
* Network friendly (don't wanna have my network down because the |
15 |
backup traffic ate all the bandwidth) |
16 |
* Possibility of using different backup media (tape, CD, DVD, HD,...) |
17 |
* Ease of maintenance and recovery, preferably with unattended |
18 |
operation (don't wanna be hanging around changing tapes) |
19 |
* Snapshot backups of live file systems (don't wanna have to stop my |
20 |
web/mail/database server to do the backup) |
21 |
* Ready to go (so please, don't tell me to use tar / cpio / mt) |
22 |
* Of course open source |

After a preliminary search, I've found Amanda, Mondo Rescue and |
25 |
Bacula, all of them in portage. I would like to hear experiences, and |
26 |
thoughts about this. |

Thanks in advance, best regards |
