Each and every backup tool could use different on-tape formats. As far as backup tools, we could probably include a small one, for use on desktop systems. Feel free to file a bug against the distribution component in bugzilla.redhat.com if you have a specific tool in mind. Otherwise, check freshmeat.net and you'll see a wide range of backup tools, including home-made scripts, proprietary programs like ArcServe or Veritas NetBackup, and small tools like KBackup. Note, a lot of customers seem to like Mondo, and Amanda: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mondo/ http://www.amanda.org/ (See the link to the Unix Backup at the bottom for help in setting it up). --- Bastien Nocera <hadess@xxxxxxxxxx> The hailstones leaped from the pavement, just like maggots when you fry them in hot grease. -- Fedora-config-list mailing list Fedora-config-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-config-list
