I use the BRU 2000 to backup the FreeBSD.org servers. It is ok. I runs fine on 2.2-STABLE, 3.1-STABLE, and -current (pre KVM changes). The version I have is a BSDI statically linked version. Are they now offering a native FreeBSD version? [I should note that I have not tried it since the KVM changes were put into -stable and -current, I hope it still works.] My only complaint is that it has few provisions for tape management, which is why I would prefer to use amanda24. If amanda supported backup images larger than the tape size. I have not used the X11 interface. -- Nathan Ahlstrom FreeBSD: http://www.FreeBSD.org/ nrahlstr@winternet.com PGP Key ID: 0x67BC9D19 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
