Re: Looking for Backup solutions for Linux

[Ez-Aton]

How about the old method of backup tape? Using LTO2 tape, you can backup enough today (based on your estimation of ~120GB per backup), adn in the future. It's not cheap, but it does the work. Ez Yaacov Fenster - System Engineering Troubleshooting and other stuff wrote: Folks - We are looking for some backup solutions for a Linux based file server. Up until now we have been burning DVD's, but as the volume of files grows that is becoming a less manageable solution. In general we are talking about amounts of up to 20Gb per backed up volume with about half a dozen volumes. Ideally we should be able to backup multiple full copies (over time) of a volume (Weekly backup for example), coupled with incremental backups of the volume (Daily backup for example). One option that comes to mind is a dedicated file server, but that means that the backups are not physically removed. On the other hand using removable disks (USB2.0/Firewire) means that we dedicate a significant storage capacity (And cost) to each backup. Ideas anyone?    Thanks in advance       Yaacov ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
