Hi,
I have a small fileser at home and I'm looking for a brackup software.
I found amanda, and i think it can be the right thing for my server.
But I don't have a taper. I only habe a DVD-Writer with DVD-RAM support.
Can I packup with amanda on DVD or is this inpossible at the moment?
I hope, someone can help me.

Amanda can emulate virtual tapes on disk, called "vtapes".

See: http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/File_driver

Such a vtape can be burned to a CD or DVD when Amanda is finished.
