If you use tar to backup files it can screw you over because if the tar archive get currupted 4K into the file then you can't restore the rest of your files. If you insist on using something like tar I have heard good things about BRU
I haven't ever seen this problem. I've seen rsync take a really long time trying to build the file list, but never break because of too many files. I backup large amounts of files via rsync every day.
Hard drives come out as being much cheeper than tape even in the long run.You don't need removable disks, you just need to have the machine in a different building if possible. A tape library to hold the amount of data that I need to hold would be over 5K and then I would have to buy tapes which are around $100 a peice, that doesn't seem very economical to me being that for less money I can build two 1TB, and yes thats a T for terabyte, backup systems and put them both in separate buildings. That way if one completely fails I still have all of my backups.
First, where are you getting all of this money for tape? I want some. Second, CD-RW are not praticle for backing up large amount of data and neither are DVD-R disks. I have to backup 0.5TB of data and yes thats a T as in terabyte. Therefore disks work much better. I just have a 1TB raid5 arry with one hot spare that cost under 5K to backup systems.

Fourth, I really want to see you try to fit 0.5TB, and yes again thats a T for terabyte, on a CD-RW. Just let me know when you manage to do that.
Have you ever wanted to do backups easily and cheaper than tape? Well then Stitch is the answer for you. Use the features of rsync without the hassle of setting it up. This is not meant for data center scale backups, but for small departments or institutions. A mirror of the page can be found here. You don't have a client side, all thats required is ssh on the client. This way there isn't a client side to maintain. It does incremental backups on a monthly rotation and allows you to easily restore systems.
We use RedHat Linux + openafs and some configuration changes. Our packages are available at kickstart.linux.ncsu.edu . All of our beowolf clusters are running Scyld Linux, which is based off of RedHat Linux.

That error doesn't say that its not completing the backups because of too many files. It sounds like you are running out of space.

This has absolutely nothing to do with this thread and should be moderaleted down to -1
you might want to take a look at this for doing backups via rsync over ssh with no client side scipts to manage

tar isn't that reliable for backups
tar isn't reliable
tar isn't that reliable
You might want to take a look at this. It does all of this but no client side script to maintain.
/me points at stitch. It /should/ backup osx as long as you run ssh on the box and have a user called root.
you might want to take a look at this. it does backups via rsync over ssh using ssh keys.
you may be interested in this. it does backups via rsync over ssh. its still in development so i'm sure features can be added if users request them.

First, tar is not reliable.
Second, you could use ssh keys.
Third, look here for something that already does this.

it was either the aliens or the government, so that made it disapear and look like a hoax so that we wouldn't know about it.
yep thats definitly it.
what do you mean by "fractional number of ships"
RedHat Linux 7.2 ships with ext3 compiled into the kernel by default and installs with formating you partitions as ext3.
