Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Mon, 09 Feb 1998 19:56:08 -0800 From: Mike Smith (Please pardon the crosspost to -isp; I'm looking for comments from people with experience administering backup strategies for largish networks, and I suspect some of you lurk there.) I'm looking for recommendations for both backup devices and backup strategies for a network of about six systems and perhaps 50GB of data. Ultimately, I'd like something that can run more or less unattended, modulo media changes, etc. (ie. I expect using Amanda or similar.) I'd be interested in hearing from anyone that's been involved in setting up and/or operating such a backup system, as well as perhaps being interested in doing something similar for the FreeBSD project. - -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com ------- End of Blind-Carbon-Copy To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
