It has its kinks, but is solid and reliable. Amanda also handles compression and encryption for you. I currently use Amanda to back up to a RAID array. I then use rsnapshot to back portions of that (including the Amanda virtual tapes) to one of three rotating off-site USB external drives. I suspect the latter could be adapted to your requirements. If you don't find anything readily available, I'd look at using find and the mtimes to copy to a holding disk, which you can then burn to archive media. I suggest you look at Blu-Ray for archiving. -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/
