Hi all, I have a Mandrake 6.0 system installed as our primary DNS server (we're an ISP) and have some network monitoring tools installed (Netsaint, MRTG and IPmeter). Works like a charm ;o) I have a question though. An external 4/8gb SCSI travan tape is connected to the box and is operational, and I'm looking for an 'as user friendly as possible' backup sollution. I could just tar all the stuff I want secured (basicaly our /var/named dir, our mrtg dir, and our HTML dirs) to the tape, but I'm not the only one who would have to be able to restore a backup (or part of the backup) if something goes wrong. I had a look at Kdat. I'ts friendly enough, but can't be scheduled. What's more, it won't recognize a tape inserted in the drive, untill I format it. And of course, once formated, data is lost so I can't restore from it. Anyone know of a good, user friendly and especialy schedulable backup sollution I could try out (and perhaps adopt)?
