samba - Sep 2004 - Just a quick suggestion for backup solution, please?? ?

Hi!

We use Tapeware to back up a combination of LINUX and MS servers across the
network to one of two media servers.  One is Windows based and the other is
LINUX.  Having a little problem with the old tape autoloader on the LINUX
box, but the backup/restore from the MS platform works very well.

I backup our RedHat linux server over our network to tape every night via
Retrospect Server 6.5. While it does not offer decent support for other
linux flavors, you can try to install the client rpm using alien or
something like that. I've never gotten it to work on Debian, but I am a mere
grasshopper at Linux.
