Suggestions for open source backup program
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?

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... :-) Boaz.

Re: help with partition table
Get yourself a Knoppix 3.3 (or later) CD. Boot from the CD, and use gpart. It's not a graphical interface, as one may think, but a command-line tool that recognizes the partitions on the hard disk. If your partition table is wrecked anyhow, you may use it's feature of setting up the partition table according to what it finds. Despite the use-at-your-own risk warning, it works well.
