I'd agree with you John. I'm trying to get away from Amanda's
unpredictability and go back to using scripts to drive dump (for
ext2/3/4) and xfsdump (for xfs).
Is there any easy way to tell rear to include xfsdump and dump
capability? If the commands are there then its trivial to restore data.
What I've done in the past is before the nightly backup write a small
file to the root of each filesystem giving disk geometries. You can
then use any recovery DVD to partition and reload the OS. If rear can
do this for me it would be __much__ neater!

I'm old school, but I always liked using dump/restore on unix file
systems. e2dump or whatever for linux, zfs send/recieve for zfs, ufsdump
on freebsd ufs, etc etc.
then I just need to know what file systems they are, and where they should
be mounted, and its trivial to set tha tup on new hardware.
