I am not sure about Linux, but Syncsort Backup Express will backup Sun, HP,
SGI, and NT boxes. I used it at a previous job. It worked very well.

Edward,
Since I am obviously unable to be unbiased in my product opinion, I
will simply say that the only products that support all of your required
platforms (that I know of) are Veritas Software's NetBackup and Legato's
Networker. Obviously the products are different, but again, I am incapable
of being unbiased.

Subject: [SunHELP] looking for backup ideas
Hello all,
I'm looking for backup ideas. My current scheme is that each of my servers
have a tape drive in it. A few of the less critical machines create a tar
files of the important stuff and another machine collects the tar files via
cron entries and perl scripts.
Our department is now facing space issues, we need to add machines but
don't have any new space to put them. We're now looking into replacing
tower case machines with rackmounted 1U units, but those things don't come
with tapedrives, at least none I've looked at so far.
I currently have a mix of linux boxes and Solaris boxes.
I'm eyeing the setup that our Novell administrator has here. He's got a
few backup servers which go out and backup other servers each night. He's
using ArcServe.
I see that there is a linux version of ArcServe. I'm guessing that I could
run a linux box w/ ArcServe on it to backup my other linux boxes, but what
about my Sun boxes?
Is there some product that runs on either Solaris or linux that can be used
to backup other boxes? I'd like the "backup" server to run the show, not
have the remote servers tar to the backup servers tape drive. I don't want
to have to worry about having 2 machines trying to tar to the drive at the
same time.
Am I making sense?
