I need to recommend some backup options for a web server running
CentOS 4.1. The client prefers using a tape drive as their backup

system backups weekly and differential backups nightly but don't
know what software to recommend for the differential b/u's. For full
backups I can just schedule a tar and compress using cron.
Any recommendations would be appreciated.
for me www.amanda.org everytime
I've used amanda for a number of years without a hitch. Simple to
implement. Depending on how you set it up, an amanda tape can be
restored using only native OS tools. Centos has amanda rpms, but I
prefer to built it from tarball. Can also backup to disk (virtual tape)
and tape raid.
