I have been looking unsuccessfully for a competent backup program.
I want a package that will run on a linux system and completely backup both
linux and win98 boxes. Ideally, I want to be able to do a "cold iron" restore.
That is start from a boot disk and bring 'er up.
However, if I lose a box I really want to be able to, at worst, just install
the os (either linux or win98) + backup client and then restore the remainder to
get back to the original configuration.
I thought ARKEIA would do it for win98 but they tell me I have to restore
win98, the ARKEIA client, the exact applications, and then do the restore.
Also, I can't change any of the components in the box (ie. restore to a
different box). This I can see but having to completely restore all the
applications(levels, versions, etc)...I should save a LOT of time/tape and just
backup the data!!!
I used to use Cheyenne backup on a win95 system to do this. A couple of times
I recovered a trashed system by just booting off a Cheyenne floppy and selecting
the tape to restore...going away for a few hours and coming back to a nice
working system.
Does such a package exist in linux that will handle linux or win98 network
attached systems???
