Some people/networks see no problems with rdump. In most cases, I myself would recommend amanda though. Amanda has the distinct advantage of being able to spool data to the "holding disk" at which point another utility writes this to the tape. This eliminates the t(h?)rashing Christoph mentioned. This is almost word for word out of the documenation. http://www.backupcentral.com/amanda.html Amanda can also be configured to compress on the client, and send to the server. This is much more efficient than transferring text files, etc. HTH, Dan Vande More
