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.
