Amanda can't span tapes. So you must split up your directories/partitions
so they are smaller than your tape size.
Just buy something - your time is worth more than a few thousand for
backups. ;)

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