At the Humanities college at Carnegie Mellon we are interested in
implementing transparent backups for our Mac II's. I have been asked
to investigate using CAP 5.0 with Macdump, and Macrestore to
implement such a system.
Background:
We currently have approximately sixty Mac II's from the entire
college that we would like to provide with automatic backups onto a
Vaxstation 2000 running Ultrix 2.2. The Mac's are connected to our
Appletalk network using a PhoneNet/Kinetics Box/Ethernet "solution".
My Request:
I would be interested in receiving any information concerning the
implementation of such a system. Are the CAP and Macdump 'packages'
stable enough for heavy usage? Are they're any factors about
using a 2000 that I should be aware of? Personal opinions and/or
anecdotes by people who have already installed such a system are
extremely welcome. If I receive enough information I'll attempt
to summarize trends, tips and information for posting.
Thanks in advance,
Matt McNally
