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.
I've just checked and there doesn't seem to be an option for 'Arkeia
Light'. Their products now seem to be called 'Arkeia Network Backup' and 'Arkeia Smart Backup'. Perhaps your version is old and no longer in production or maintained.
