Flexbackup

A flexible backup tool.

flexbackup is for you if you have a single or small number of machines, amanda is "too much", and tarring things up by hand isn't nearly enough...

This program can use the "buffer" utility to speed up tape and network I/O: (recommended, not required). The RPMs are compiled with changes to allow large file (>2GB) support.

Source: buffer-1.19.shar.gz
Source RPM: buffer-1.19-5.src.rpm
Redhat 8/9 RPM: buffer-1.19-5.i386.rpm

People sometimes have trouble finding afio... (recommended for tapes; not required - you can use just about any archive program)

Source: afio-2.4.7.tgz
Source RPM: afio-2.4.7-134.src.rpm (taken from SuSe, but rebuildable w/ just about any rpm)
Redhat 8/9 RPM: afio-2.4.7-134.i386.rpm

Newer versions can alternately use the "mbuffer" utility instead of "buffer". I would recommend staying with "buffer" unless you want to experiment.
