I'm trying to come up with a more intigrated backup plan now that we have a nice big DLT drive that can backup every server on one tape. Right now it backups up the NT machines, and the Linux machines backup via amanda to a DDS drive. So I'm sitting here, thinking to myself...how can I tie the backups together. Hmm. Well, first of all theres the backup method. Should I just tarball /, use dump, or amanda? Then there's how to get the backup archive to a place where Backup Exec can get it. SAMBA doesn't work, because two of the Linux machines are on the external network and the third internal. Amanda is appealing because it's allready pulling in the backups. Maybe I could simply smb share the dumpfiles so backup exec can get them. The other option would be to scp the archives from the external machines to the internal machines and use samba from there.
