I have it backup a few of my home boxes (FreeBSD, Solaris, Sunos) to a 4-tape jukebox I picked up cheap. Runs every night. Schedules which partitions to do and what dump levels based on priorities you assign to each, in case they won't all fit on one tape. www.amanda.org If you've only got one system and one tape drive it's overkill, but still nice to have running to automate your backups. Saved my butt a couple times when I lost a disk, since it ran everynight without my intervention. :-) Hasta lluego...
