Hello. I'd like to implement some backup-solution on my FreeBSD 4.5 box, but I'm not sure which backup-system would be the right for me. I've read a bit about tar, dump, Amanda etc., but I'm not sure what to go for. The FreeBSD-box doesn't have any tapedrive, CD-burner etc., but I'd still like it to be the backup master, creating ISO-images that can be burned on another computer. The backup-solution should be able to handle the following: - backing up selected areas of the FreeBSD-box directory-structure - backing up remote volumes (specifically: SMB shares on two Windows 2K/XP computers) - being capable of doing both full and incremental backups - the backup-data should ideally be put into an ISO image, ready for transfer/burning at another computer - it should keep catalogs of what's being backed up, making it easy to find out where a file or directory was backed up I could always make some rudimentary solution by writing shell or Perl-scripts that do a "tar" of some directories, "smbtar" of some SMB-shares" etc., but if there already exists a solution/framework for this I'll try that instead. -- Eivind Olsen eivind@aminor.no To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
