Hi all,
Just want to get opinions on backups from everybody in the know on SLUG.
This is what I'm looking for in a backup program.
1. Must be GUI (Boss is not good at Unix) which has a selectable
backup/restore (similar to Kdat).
2. Does a cpio or tar backup.
3. Does filesystem backups (uses /dev/nst0 and on a filesystem by filesystem
backup)
4. Can setup, save it and it runs at a cron level.
Take a look at NovaNET - www.novastor.com - there's a 30 day trial copy
that you can download. I got it running last night on SuSE 6.3 and the text
mode is great.
The X version (included) is brilliant.

P.S. A friend is a distributor if you are interested...:_)
