Re: [CentOS] Backup options.

Quoting Erin Fortenberry Erin@Fortenberry.net:

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.

Have you considered Arkeia? http://www.arkeia.com They offer Arkeia Light - which is free for very small installations.
