Hi All, Thanks for the response (too many people to mention). Basically we have: 1) Commercial solutions Veritas Netbackup and Legato Networker 2) Free solutions AMANDA (only suggestion) or scripts Apparently we have a site license agreement to get Legato at a 'low' price (Mark, you are right I should have checked the license page first) so I'll go with Legato.
