I recently went through this exercise, first trying bacula, and then trying amanda. I would recommend amanda a dozen times over instead of bacula. The documentation was better, the current release projects were recent (while bacula is like 4 revs behind in blastwave/opencsw) ... For amanda, I just installed via opencsw or blastwave (I forget which) and voila, it was all done and it was working. I only had to create a config file, which was a cinch, thanks to documentation that didn't suck. Depending on your needs, you could also just use mbuffer. It has options to change tapes as necessary. It's even simpler than amanda, but of course the simpleness comes at the expense of functionality. Still, suppose you're one of those people who still wants to store a "zfs send" on tape... You're aware of the pros/cons and are willing to intelligently make your own choice despite all the people who say "don't do that..." mbuffer gives you a simple way to store a "zfs send" on tape and rotate tapes. _______________________________________________ opensolaris-help mailing list opensolaris-help@opensolaris.org
