The software you'll want to look into is a combination of amanda (www.amanda.org) and samba (www.samba.org). From the amanda homepage: "AMANDA, the Advanced Maryland Automatic Network Disk Archiver, is a backup system that allows the administrator of a LAN to set up a single master backup server to back up multiple hosts to a single large capacity tape drive. AMANDA uses native dump and/or GNU tar facilities and can back up a large number of workstations running multiple versions of Unix. Recent versions can also use SAMBA to back up Microsoft Windows 95/NT hosts" The amanda servers and clients are in the ports ( /usr/ports/misc/amanda-client and /usr/ports/misc/amanda-server) as is samba (/usr/ports/net/samba). How: is slightly more complicated, but a decent description seems to be available at: http://www.coe.tamu.edu/cs/amanda/SAMBA - Jeff Jirsa To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
