Re: Suggestions for open source backup program

Not sure about (5) (but one can devise himself a solution for that), I 
think dump should be able to do it
http://dump.sourceforge.net/ || http://sourceforge.net/projects/dump/
You can use rsh (or more secure alternatives) combinations for remote 
backup.
Although this sounds too much of a "hand work", this is actually not too 
complicated. dump "interactive mode" helps your life as a sysadmin a lot 
when that user comes a long with a shy smile on his face... :-)

Hi linux-il,

I need a backup software for linux that should:

0. Be open source.
1. Support tape backup.
2. Be liberal with cartridge order within a backup set. (We have a bad 
experience with afbackup being overly strict, we had to waste time 
with fixing things every time a customer insert the wrong backup 
cartridge)
3. Be able to manage large amount of data (10s of GBs) .
4. Support backup over network (i.e. the backup tape drive may reside 
on another machin on the LAN)
5. Support simultaneous network backups from many clients to one 
backup server.

Any suggestions?

TIA

I use BRU (not free) and I'm looking for replacement. I came across DAR
( http://dar.linux.free.fr/ ). Anyone knows/has comments about it ?
