Don't know what your price requirements are, but Netbackup works nicely. It uses a master server for scheduling backups and a client piece for each client you want to backup. Administration is performed via a java gui which can be run locally or on a remote machine. The command line utilities are good and allow for you to write scripts around them for automation. -- S C Rigler RHCE #803003335409754 -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Donald Tyler Sent: Tuesday, January 13, 2004 9:02 AM To: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Backup management software recommendations required Hi, We have recently expanded our network rather quickly and have added 5 RedHat 9 servers to our single Mac XServe Server. We used to use a piece of software for managing network backups called Retrospect, which worked perfectly. But they don't seem to have any software for Linux. What I am hoping is that someone can recommend a piece of software I can use to automate and remotely manage the backup of all six servers, preferably using a GUI interface. Retrospect worked in such a way that you installed client software on each machine, and then install a single server with the control software. Using this method, you did not have to set up any kind of file sharing etc as the client software would back itself up onto the server. It could be automated and I would get error messages from both the clients and the servers if a client had not checked in for its regular backup. It would be ideal if I could get something similar, but it is not essential. The only essential features are that its automated and manageable over a network. Thanks in advance.
