Amanda is a backup system designed to archive many -computers on a network to a single large-capacity tape drive. - -Here are some features of Amanda: - - * written in C, freely distributable. - * built on top of standard backup software: Unix dump/restore, and - later GNU Tar and others. - * will back up multiple machines in parallel to a holding disk, blasting - finished dumps one by one to tape as fast as we can write files to - tape. For example, a ~2 Gb 8mm tape on a ~240K/s interface to a host - with a large holding disk can be filled by Amanda in under 4 hours. - * does simple tape management: will not overwrite the wrong tape. |
