Well I use amanda. It's DB doesn't need an external one like bacula so restores can be less troublesome. BUT it can't span tapes if a backup is larger than a tape........ It can use a virtual tape setup so it you have a nice big disk(array) you can backup to that. I'd say try amanda, if things aren't working out try bacula - it's nice to hav a choice... -- Martin On 12/29/05, Kiffin Gish <kiffin.gish@planet.nl> wrote: > > I have a home network with two FreeBSD servers (web- and file-server), a > number of Windows desktops and a wireless FreeBSD laptop all connected to > one another using Samba. > > What is the best tool to create automatic central backups?
