I have a customer who has learned the hard way (the very hard way) that backups of your corporate data are imperative. Well now that I have spent the last three days trying to recover their data I need to implement a backup plan for them. They only have a few drives for backup (two 40G and a 160G) up so I would like to make a full backup this week and then schedule incremental backups from now on. The two 40G are probably going to get striped together and the 160 is going to be a dedicated backup. They do not have any tape drives only hard drives and to top it all off they only have Macs. They are using a dedicated Mac running OS 9.2 acting as a server. I was hoping I could upgrade that system to OS X and I was wondering if there are any FreeBSD utilities that would work for backing up. Otherwise I will be setting up a freebsd backup server and I would like to save the customer the money and not have to go that route. I am sorry for the many OS X questions I have been posting here over the last few days but the Darwin mailing list did not respond. Does anyone know of a good OS X mailing list I can join? Thank you, Joshua Lewis
