Apart from many commerical products there is Kern Sibbalds "Bacula" which is a network backup solution like Legato or Tina. I have been running bacula for some years now and I'm completely happy with it. Bacula's main concept is, that there are a couple of daemons: 1) director 2) storage 3) file There is more, but these are the main components. The director is the brain of all, it is running and controlling any backup in your network among the clients (what to backup, when and where). On your clients you need only the file daemon - and these are available for Linux, Solaris, Windows and many more (I use these three). But you already know bacula ;-) But you are right, bacula is complex indeed - but a network backup solution with a bit more intelligence than rsync is as a matter of fact a complex topic. But my experience is, that you can get it up and running in a day - and really nice in a week. Bacula here is much easier than the commerical products I had before. Since bacula is written in "good" C you can compile it very easy under Solaris (I'm in fact doing it right now). You need some libs, a database and gcc - that's all. Time for that: 10 Minutes :-) Windows binaries are available at sf.net. http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=50727&package_id=110236 Give it another try ;-) Cheers, Jan _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
