Backup Software

[Lucas Peet]

And how can I get it to only backup certian directories?  I've gotten it to work by specifying each 
tree that I want backedup on the command line, but shouldn't I just be able to list them in a file 
somewhere?  (bruxpat)?  If so, what would my command line be - backup from / but because of the 
inclusions in bruxpat just those will be backed up?  Or do I have to specify the trees I want to 
back up  and specify the ones I don't?  What would happen to the ones I don't specify in bruxpat?

Basically, I want to be able to add to a list of trees that gets backed up, then schedule a general 
bru command via cron (without listing any directories to back up on the command line).  Can I do 
this using the bruxpat file?

I used BRU 16.0 and now BRU 17.0 from www.tolisgroup.com, it has worked very well.  I use it with 
bzip2 to get even more compression (uses gzip by default).

Does anyone here have experience with Amanda or doing backups to a DAT drive with dump or cpio?  I 
need to know how to do it, and how to restore, should I need to. 
 
Or, is there other backup software that you would recommend?
