Tape backups

Hi list,

Thanks to the change of the -l option in tar, I have to modify all  
backupscripts on a lot of servers, so I was wondering what kind of  
backupscripts or other software the listmembers are using here.

The script I'm using now is a simple complete backup of the entire  
system with tar to tape with a text report mailing to the sysadmin and  
a simple console menu for sysadmins to restore files/dirs to a  
location. It also keeps a record of the usage of the tape and warning  
the sysadmin to replace the tape after a year.

I wrote this several years ago, and it's working fine, but some admins  
would like to see something fancy like a web frontend for restore  
functions or so.

When looking on sf.net there are hundreds of projects doing some sort  
of automated backup, but I have no time to test all of them.

Maybe someone has suggestions for me?


Thanks,

Ariën
