I have 20/40 gig tape backup. I would like to backup my LAN and my
remote web server with the same tape drive.
Is there a way to backup the web server securely?
SSH?

Matt,
We use rsync (http://rsync.samba.org) to do the job.
We currently rsync all other machines to an admin. machine's HD then
use bru (http://www.bru.com) to backup the admin. machine to a tape
drive installed in the admin. machine.
The HD step makes it easier for us to restore single files (i.e. "I
accidentally deleted a png from my Web site, can you guys help?") but
you could skip it.
As a note of what *not* to use: I just finished setting up a couple
servers for a client and they insisted on using ARCserve by Computer
Associates (http://www.ca.com) which allows backups using a
server/client scenario. IMHO the software is junk, tech support is not
clueful and they use a proprietary SCSI driver that doesn't support
2.4.x. You have been warned! :-)
