Funny, I was just making a list of Amanda's strengths and weaknesses
(according to MHO), while preparing for my LISA talk on Tuesday.
In the minus column I have:
- Windows support (smbtar) is currently a kludge,;
native client in development [is this true?]
- no Mac support - but OS X is coming
- no tape spanning - in development
- no tape appending - in development
I have lots of things in the plus column, most of which are strengths
by comparison to AFS backup. A few of generic relevence are:
- freeware, open source
- tapes are in 'native' format, can always be read even in the
absence of an Amanda installation
-Mitch
