[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] Backup over TCP/IP ?

whwb@cgchb1.uucp (Hans W. Barz) (12/13/88)

We have a lot of SUN's running under control of users. These users are usually
not very happy doing the incremental backup daily. We are looking for a *secure*
product, which send the daily incremental backup to our central Vax-systems (VMS).
The remote Suns are connected via TCP/IP and Ethernet to our central facilities.
We know that this kind of backup is slow, but we restricts the volume to 100(?) MB
per system. If a system send more backup stuff, they have to run a new full backup.

The product should incorporate a transparent retrieval facility for the remote
system administrator.

I have also seen an advertisment for the Iverson Tape Manager; would that help ?
