I'm a big fan of Amanda, which uses tar or dump to backup as many remote machines as you want to a central backup server. I'm currently using it to backup a FreeBSD server, two Linux workstations, a Windows2000 desktop, and an OpenBSD machine 3 states away. Oh, and it's free, and you can do bare-metal recovery from its backup tapes using a boot floppy and tar or restore as appropriate. -- Kirk Strauser -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
