Hi all, I have an IBM x226 that I will soon be installing Suse 10.3 64-bit on. It will be a full LAMP installation and a Samba file server that will house about 700GB or more of data. I am looking for a tape backup solution and may be able to get my hands on a StorageTek L20 tape library with two LTO2 drives in it. I MIGHT be able to get this all for free, but then I have to worry about what I need to run it. My questions are... Where can I get drivers for this? Will I need drivers for the library, the drives, or both? Is there any free software (Amanda, perhaps?) that can effectively be used to create backups on a weekly and monthly basis? Is Amanda robust enough? If nothing free, what can I use? I would also like to backup a few MySQL databases which will eventually be running. Never done this before. Can anyone point me in an informative direction regarding this? Many thanks, folks! Chris
Yes, I think you should use Amanda: http://www.howtoforge.com/disk_based_backups_amanda_debian_etch Take a look here: http://www.howtoforge.com/back_up_mysql_dbs_without_interruptions
