Re: Backup for many linux machines



You can use plain old dump - see man dump:
       dump  backs  up  all files in filesystem, or files changed
       after a certain date, or a  specified  set  of  files  and
       directories,   to  magnetic  tape,  diskettes,  or  files.
       options is a string that specifies dump options, as  shown
       below.   Any  arguments  supplied for specific options are
       given as subsequent words on the command line, in the same
       order as that of the options listed.

       If  dump  is  called as rdump, the dump device defaults to
       dumphost:/dev/rmt8.
