Of course you are right, but what else can I do? To move the backupserver to FreeBSD means getting back Linux-dumps (from other machines)with FreeBSD-restore. Mhm, the same thing the other way round.
Installing on every server FreeBSD means a lot of work and a second backup machine means a lot of costs.

I wonder how people do tapebackups in such mixed environments. It's not very seldom to have Linux- and FreeBSD-servers in one LAN.

However, if somebody has an idea for a proper solution I would be glad to hear it.
