I have tried doing a Centos 5.10(i386) jail, to run the Tivoli Client (6.2.5, latest version I found with 32 bit support), however I get an out of memory error as soon as it tries to find files to backup. I made an attempt to run a Debian kFreeBSD(amd64) jail, no luck Tivoli Binary still uses Linux emulation, stuck with 32bit. Tried Debian kFreeBSD(i386) jail. Gave up fairly quickly because of ELF errors. I am currently backing up all of my FreeBSD machines with Bacula, which works great, but I don't have a tape drive available for it, so its just backed up to disk. To this point the FreeBSD machines I maintain at the corporate office are proxy / service type machines. Backups are primarily to get get configuration information, offsite backups are not a great concern as being able to restore only speeds up rebuilding a server from scratch instead of me having to manually edit configurations. I am looking to implement a new server to provide Subversion services which will have actual data on it that we will be legally required to have available for 7 years. I am out of ideas to try myself, short of setting up a Linux machine supported by IBM Tivoli and mounting snapshots of my FreeBSD volumes read only to it, and backing them up that way, of course this leans towards just storing the subversion repository there instead of on the FreeBSD machine. Has anyone else had any luck, or tried any other options I have thought of yet? -- Thanks, Dean E. Weimer http://www.dweimer.net/
