Linux commercial backup solution 2003-11-25 - By Jason Dale
Back Hi,
I know this is actually an Enterprise Linux question, but I am not receiving a response anywhere else.
I am looking for an excellent hardware and software tape backup solution for Red Hat linux that can be ideal for server specs similar to those below:
* Compaq 360 G3 (2Gig Memory, 2 * 3GB Processors, 2 * 18 GB Disk Drives)
* Compaq 7000 (1 Gig Memory, 2-4 Processors, RAID-5 (See http://AID-5.ora-code.com) Hotswappable Disk Bay with up to 9 disk slots.)
In otherwords, the "best" tape drive (storage size can vary) combined with the "best" software package that has the following:
- An EASY TO USE GUI interface - support for most tape drives - Highly customizeable: full to incremental backups, promtps users for tapes, etc. - Can support backup and restore to and from archives. - Can support backups to hard drives local and/or network hard drives and SMB share locations. Must be able to restore from these locations
This must be a commercial hardware and software recommendation, because we need the support, ease of use, stability, etc. This stuff will be used on a platinum mine, and we need a top-notch solution. Freeware products don't have support, and they require you to be a rocket scientist)
Thanks :)
Jason
