Reliable Offsite Backup Services for Linux?

Posted by Cliff on from the millions-of-onsite-backups-aren't-enough dept.

southern asks: "I have a client that would like to backup his data to an external server in addition to tape. His office is made up of a couple of Linux server and a few NT machines. What backup services are out there for Linux servers? Services like NetMass and others only work with Windows."

  1. TSM/Legato? by larien · · Score: 3, Informative

    Both TSM (formerly ADSM; from IBM) and Legato Networker have linux and NT servers/clients. However, the license fees for them are somewhat steep, reaching into the 4 figure area quite quickly.

  2. Veritas NetBackup by BobBoLo · · Score: 2, Informative

    Veritas NetBackup has a multi platform backup solution. They don't have a linux server solution yet, but they have linux clients.
