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 |
|

Take a look at it: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/ |

|
| 7 |
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 |
