I have several machines of different OS types at home. Call me an OS nut. A FreeBSD box. An OpenBSD box. A Sun Ultra 30 running Solaris. A dual-boot WindowsXP/Linux box. A Solaris x86 box. And my main machine is a G4 Mac running Mac OS X. My OS X box has the majority of my important files. I currently backup by copying files from the other machines onto OS X and burning a DVD on the SuperDrive. I only do this from time to time since DVD-R's are still somewhat expensive. I'm contemplating buying SCSI tape drive (DLT of some sort on eBay) and attaching it to either the SPARC or FreeBSD box. I'd rather do tape backups because I can recycle tapes. I would like to use Amanda, and I'm sure it would work fine between the *BSD, Solaris and Linux machines. How do I address Mac OS X and maybe even Windows? I don't think Amanda has an OS X client and much less, I don't know how it would handle forked files. thanks, -john To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
