1 Hi,
2
3 I'm looking for an OpenSource backup solution for a small network. Today I'm
4 using Arkeia-Light to do the job, but it's not OpenSource and can only
5 support one server and two clients and also have some other restrictions.
6 So I'm now asking for suggestions for alternative solutions.
7 These are my requirements:
8 * Secure
9 * OpenSource
10 * One Central Backup Host (with tape-drive and backup-db)
11 * Backup of Clients over Network (even through Firewall)
12 * Support for DDS and DLT tapes
13 * Unlimited number of Clients
14 * Tape Management (the SW keep track of used/unused tapes)
15 * Full/Incremental/Differential/Archive - Backups
16 * Retention time management for Backups
17 * Command Line Interface (for scripting) and GUI (for easy Backup/Restore)
18 * Definition of Backup-sets
19 * Online/Offline backup of Databases (MySQL)
20 * And of course it should be in Portage.
21
22 At the moment I see two candidates, Amanda and Bacula.
23 Any comments (pro/con) on those two or any suggestion on some other Backup-SW.

25 Regards,
