Hi Steinar, >I'm sure we could roll our based on freely available tools (eg. Amanda) >- but by now I'm used to Tivoli ADSM/TSM, and *like* the convenience >ADSM/TSM offers. We need the ability to make backups (via Fast Ethernet) >primarily of FreeBSD servers, but also Solaris, Linux and HP-UX. Easy >restore is important. Amanda works well, tho I did not had to check on restore yet :) I think the restore works a bit like retore(8) does. You select the files you want from a list then extract, and it will prompt you for the tapes (or get them from your tape charger). One good point, the user list is *active*, developpers do answer questions, even stupid questions that could be solved by RTFM (I did ask such question :) I had it compiled on FreeBSD (various flavors), Solaris (old, including SunOS 4.1). I heard there is issue with older Linux kernel. >used with a decent sized tape library, probably LTO based, and FreeBSD >4.3-STABLE. Dunno what LTO is, my Amanda server is FBSD 4.3 According to a friend, best commercial would be by Veritas, tho their FreeBSD client is old (3.3).
