[brlug-general] Backups for Linux..

[Robert Leche]

Dustin,

I am using Bacula to backup over 40 hosts (servers,workstations,and
laptops)over the network. This includes Linux and Windows OS's. Bacula
supports Mac OS, but haven't had the opportunity to try it on the Apple
OS. Bacula works with tape, disk storage, or DVD. Supports  web based
applications to monitor usage. One word of warning, Bacula is configured
with a command tool set- no gui
