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. cu, bm. ------------------------------------------------ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web!
