> I am looking for a backup procedure to implement here at my company. We

> production servers very important to our Information Technology structure)
> and an H-P 9000 server running HP-UX. Each server has a dedictaed tape unit
> attached (DDS, aka DAT.)
>
> Right now we are making full backups from Monday to Friday so we can go
> back only five days. We are not taking tapes off-site either.
>
> I want to know about rotation methods (I've heard about
> Granfather-Father-Son, 10 tape, Hanoi Towers but the information is not
> clear), when to take tapes off-site, Debian backup utilities, etc.
>
> Any URL will be appreciated. I am search Yahoo right now but without luck
