So going back to Amanda and Bacula ... I seem to recall that Amanda uses
standard tools on the back end like gtar and/or dump, is that right?
What does Bacula use? Does it use one of the standard tools? Or does it
have its own proprietary format that it uses?
thanks,

Amanda needs its own client installation on the target, but uses the

we use rsnapshot. i think of it basically as a wrapper around rsync. it
isn't a fully featured backup solution just on it's own, but it is a great
tool. we have written a bash shell script wrapper around rsnapshot

Errr, what? Amanda is a little cumbersome to set up, but it doesn't

Hey folks,
I just went through the archives to see what people are doing for backups,

Here is my situation : we have pretty much all Sun hardware with a Sun
StorageTek SL24 tape unit backing it all up. OSes are a combination of
NetWorker Management Console version 3.5.1.Build.269
based on NetWorker version 7.5.1.Build.269
The pickle we are in right now is that this software is Java based, and
stops working at a very specific release of JRE (1.6.26 or something like
that). We still have some machines
