Or is it possible > just to email the report to a user? I'm using Amanda (in ports, or ftp.cs.umd.edu) to back up some machines at home over the net. Very cool. It's now driving a 4xDDS2 tape jukebox, so 32GB nearline. Totally automated. Amanda appears to be used in many much larger sites. Config takes some time to get into but it rocks.
