I have to backup nearly 330GB of Data in my company from different hosts. At this moment we have installed 2 Servers. One server catches all the backups from the different clients with amanda and makes a huge folder within all the backup-files. After that we backup these folders in 80GB-portions on the other server which has a backup-tape, also with amanda. Is it possible to backup these files easily with a tar or is an amanda-backup necessary? Or has anybody an other solution or idea? Volker
