Since you mentioned BackupExec, I use the backup exec linux agent and it works fine and ties into our centralized backup system for our windows,linux and unix systems.
I used to use Mondo Archive (I was going to provide a link but their site is unavailable now...) to create automated cd restore images on a weekly basis. I could then quickly recover via ISO images and then would restore the incremental changes via backup exec. I am using another commercial product now though for the images.

Well the idea is if I can get my CentOS box to communicate with my Windows 2003 network I was going to do a backup and put the backup file on a windows box where I would have Backup Exec put it on Tape. One step at a time though. I haven't tackled trying to get the CentOS and Windows to talk yet. I have lots of reading to do on that subject yet. Thanks for the list of backup software.

On Tue, Apr 18, 2006 at 07:21:04AM -0500, Chris Peikert enlightened us:
Can anyone suggest a good open source/free backup software
that works on
CentOS? I was reading through the manuals on how to back
things up and it
said do 1 of 2 things. Buy a 3rd party software packages or
make one from
source. Well I have no clue how to do the 2nd option and I
don't want to
spend any money so I figured I would as you gurus. BTW I am
newb so easier
the software the better. Thanks.
What, and how much, are you trying to back up? What storage device will you be backing up to (tape, dvd, disk)?
There are several projects out there: amanda (my personal favorite), bacula, backuppc, and I'm sure a few others. More details on your expected usage can help folks point you in the better direction.
