I called them today and they claimed that the Retrospect Workgroup 5.1 will
not backup Linux Servers. They claimed I had to upgrade to the Server
version. Do you know if this is true?

The reason I ask is the last time I called the salesperson claimed that
Retrospect Workgroup 5.1 would run on a Linux machine.

Retrospect for the Mac will also back up Linux systems now. Dantz recently
released a new version.

We are using Retrospect Multi-Server 6.5 and it backs up our Windows and
Linux servers. There is an rpm and tar version of the client for Linux. The
Host machine does run on Windows though.

Hi,

We have recently expanded our network rather quickly and have added 5
RedHat 9 servers to our single Mac XServe Server.

We used to use a piece of software for managing network backups called
Retrospect, which worked perfectly. But they don 't seem to have any
software for Linux.

What I am hoping is that someone can recommend a piece of software I can
use to automate and remotely manage the backup of all six servers,
preferably using a GUI interface.

Retrospect worked in such a way that you installed client software on each
machine, and then install a single server with the control software. Using
this method, you did not have to set up any kind of file sharing etc as the
client software would back itself up onto the server. It could be automated
and I would get error messages from both the clients and the servers if a
client had not checked in for its regular backup.

It would be ideal if I could get something similar, but it is not
essential. The only essential features are that its automated and
manageable over a network.

Thanks in advance.

Donald Tyler
