On the same lines,
we use amanda at a couple of sites (Middle east, UK and the netherlands)
handling somewhere between 1 and 2 Tb of data in total, and we're looking
to expand the setup to include another Tb of data to be backed up.
The big beneifts of amanda:
- reliable
- works with standard unix tools (mt, dd and tar/gzip (or (ufs)restore) )
are all you need to get data of a backup tape if you really have to
- great support (this list)
- minimal overhead
- it prints it's own tapelabels
(you don;t know how handy it is until you have to restore the disk
which had all that information on it ;) )
- it can be setup to email when the wrong tape is in the drive a few hours
before the backup starts (amcheck -m)
Kind regards,
