[NTLUG:Discuss] Tape backup

[fredjame]

We do backups to disk, on the machine being backed up, gzipping the 
files as we go.  Then we use an expect script to automate an ftp session 
to copy those backup files to hard drive on another machine on the 
network, rotating them out by date (overwriting as they age out).

Also, Knox has a product called Arkeia that looks pretty good.  And the 
University of Maryland has one called  AMANDA (The Advanced *Maryland* 
Automatic Network Disk Archiver), which is also good.
