Hi Is there a tool which would catalog files on hdd in order to find later on backups? Here's the detail: We backup a fileserver on dvds, complete and incremental (with mondorescue). We need a web application running on same server and accessible to all workstations which would let users search for a file and tell which dvd(s) they need for it. We can't use a regular cataloging application for CDs, as the info on them it's compressed and some it's mondorescue-specific. Solution: an application would scan every night the fileserver, making a list of files and sizes. Users will search for a partial filename/path, they'll get results with sizes and dates on which file was on hdd. From that and backup policy they'll determine the dvd they need (e.g. complete backup set from 2004-12-01 and incremental backups until 2004-12-09). After some googling I couldn't find something like this, so I'll probably implement our own (will be released under gpl). Any suggestions/gotchas from your experience before starting?
