We use BRU and a DAT drive for backups. Commercial I know but it is
reliable. We run a set of daily tapes Mon-Thu and a set of five Friday
tapes.
The last Friday tape of every month gets taken off-site.
Restoration of single files is relatively easy from the supplied X front
end.
We try and avoid this though. If someone is editing a critical file and
doesn't
take a copy first then they deserve a right royal clip round the ears. We
can
restore stuff from the tapes though.
BRU also supports the creation of a 'CRU' floppy which allows you to boot
onto an empty box and restore a whole system from tape. This works fine
as long as your hardware doesn't change much. We used it to reload after
reconfiguring our RAID array - all went perfectly.
