I prefer to go the tape route myself. Currently, I use an 8mm SCSI tape to back two Debian boxes, a NeXTstation, and a couple of windows95 machines using ADSM (Adstar Distributed Storage Manager -- served from the NeXT). While the ADSM Mini-Howto goes into much better detail, you basically use the SCO binary for ADSM as a client on the Linux machines. While my NeXT is specifically used for backups, I do plan to experiment with the SCO server binaries sometime in the next month or so. And perhaps will update the Mini-Howto to make it fit. That is, if there is any great interest in using ADSM. Ryan

Author: debian-user@lists.debian.org at Internet Date: 1/4/97 5:09 PM I am curious to find out how people back stuff? Specifically I am interested in finding out whether it is necessary to use a tape system or is it also possible to use another hardrive. Afterall, it would appear a hardrive is cheaper than a *quality* tape system? Just curious too hear opinions on this matter. -Walter -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
