Hi, Our office uses a Snap Server NAS device to host all of our working files. The clients accessing the NAS are all WIndows Vista OS. Recently we opened a second office and the backup strategy we had with the Snap Server software can't be implemented until our two offices can talk to each other.
So I need a backup strategy that can replicate the functions of our previous strategy. These functions were: a) multilevel backup and b) a mirror of our data. We needed the mirror because backup software from Snap Server could not restore to the same device that the backup was on. Also I do not need to backup any of our Windows clients. There is no critical data on there from our standpoint. The Snap Server runs a limited version of Linux they call Guardian OS. I have a second older NAS from Snap Server that will serve as the backup and mirror host. (It has trouble with dealing Vista which is why it was collecting dust) so I turned one of our old machines (Intel P3) into a Linux box running Ubuntu Server 8.04. I am able to mount both Snap Servers using nfs. I assume I could also have used Samba since the Windows machines use it to map folders as network drives. The last piece of information I offer is that I have been running Linux for all of two days. So I definitely consider myself a newbie. I am looking for an easy to use solution. Having said that, here is my question: Is Amanda the most appropriate tool to meet my backup needs? +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by [EMAIL PROTECTED] via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to [EMAIL PROTECTED] +----------------------------------------------------------------------
