Title: Re: Backup management software recommendations required
Retrospect for the Mac will also back up Linux systems now. Dantz recently released a new version.

We are using Retrospect Multi-Server 6.5 and it backs up our Windows and Linux servers. There is an rpm and tar version of the client for Linux. The Host machine does run on Windows though.

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.

 
 
Donald  Tyler
