I am a long time FreeBSD user and have been using dump/restore for many years for disk to disk backups.
Now I am getting more and more into FC4 and CentOS, but am I stuck on only using tar/star for backups?
Tar in its various forms are fine for some items, like home directories, but dump and restore in FreeBSD also gave me the possibility of easily doing a bare metal restore.
What are my options for command line only backups? What is everyone else using?
I do know about Bacula and Amanda... I don't know, maybe I have been using FreeBSD for too long.
Thanks,
Erin
