So going back to Amanda and Bacula ... I seem to recall that Amanda uses standard tools on the back end like gtar and/or dump, is that right?
Amanda needs its own client installation on the target, but uses the local gnutar or dump, then stores it with a header pre-pended so you can skip over it if you needed to restore with only standard tools.
What does Bacula use? Does it use one of the standard tools? Or does it have its own proprietary format that it uses?
Not sure about that - it does also have its own agent to install, though.
