Jon,
Thanks for the 101 course -- that was very helpful. I'm now wondering if amanda is what I really need. I have a 90 GB single-tape drive and (currently) about 15 GB of uncompressed files (from du -k) to be backed
up. Incremental backups should be in the 10-50 MB range (uncompressed). And to top it off, it's (currently) a single client machine. So a single tape should last me a long time! I want a low-maintenance automated backup system that will just email me when I've filled a tape
and need to stick in a new one. Perhaps amanda is way overkill for me right now. Can anyone suggest an alternative? Hopefully one that is exceedingly simple for a novice to operate?
Keith.
Hum....
You could simply use tar and send the tarball to tape ?
gnu tar supports incrementals and exceptions/inclusions.
