Gtar works fine (and I use it for my Dailies.)

Is the "best practice" in the Debian world to just use gtar for this?

How do others manage this?  Thx.

john,

you say gtar and dump work on the sun boxes, but only state that dump
fails on the debian boxes (which is probably correct, since it only
dumps ext2 filesystems). did you try gtar? it should work.. :-)

Adding a pair of Debian(woody) clients to a Solaris shop... Amanda is working just fine with both gtar and dump on the Sun boxes.

Trying to dump filesystems, failed. Discovered that there's no "dump" on the debian boxes...

All the filesystems are jfs, yet the "dump" package I find at debian.org (0.4b27-4) appears oriented towards ext2.

What package do I want to install on these clients to play nice with Amanda? Thx.
