I like backuppc: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/ for online (disk) backups. It has an option to manually archive copies off to tape but it uses compression and linking scheme to hold 8 to 10 times what you'd expect in a disk archive. It can use either smbtar or rsync for windows clients, neither of which will save ACLs or get open files. It can optionally run an ssh command before and after the backup run for things like dumping copies of sql data to a file you can copy. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell@xxxxxxxxx
