Subject: Network backup solution suggestions - AMMENDED
Our IT guy is trying to find a new network backup solution. He has
requested that I query the group. Requirements are:

- Runs on Linux.
- FS/OSS preferred.
- Backup of a few servers and 35+ workstations.
- Some servers and almost all of the workstations are MS OS based. -
Supports backup to DLT tape backup system.
- Supports backup to optical media (CD-R/RW or DVD+-R/RW) also.

That last item seems to be the kicker. I don't know what the driving
force for that option is. He would like to find something that will
handle that.

Now, if you know something that is really great but can't directly backup
to optical media, tell about it anyway. He may have to live with creating
backup images and then burning them to media in a separate process.

AMMENDMENT:
I failed to point out that he is currently seeking backup management
software only. We believe that we have sufficient hardware on hand.
