[techtalk] RE:Need a good backup/disaster recovery software program

[Brian Sweeney]

I would recommend the O'Reilly book "Unix Backup&Recovery"; very helpful,
has lots of different scenarios, and goes through many of the various backup
utilities, including which ones do "bare-metal" recoveries.  If you don't
have the time, I think someone already recommended Arkeia, but I would add
BRU and AMANDA to the list, although I'm not sure if AMANDA has
disaster-recovery capabilities.  I did some minimal research on it, but then
the project got nixed.  Good luck!
