Once setup Amanda can do anything you want to do. It also supports a wide variety of devices. It's a good way to impress a company/boss where a company has suffered from less than robust backup/restore capabilities...... It may be overkill, but, a network backup solution is a good thing to have. You can even backup a friend's machine. James -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
