Need Backup Program

[JohnConnolly]

Can anyone recommend a simple reliable backup/restore program for Linux. The programs I've found seem to fall into two categories "free" (but either very limited or don't work) and "priced" (claim to de everything in the galaxy, 99% 0f which don't interest me). I need:

- Support for DLT drives
- On disk index for fast restore of individual files
- Incremental backup with access to previos generations
- Backup profiles
- Multiple tape archive support

Thanks for the suggestion - I'm trying Arkeia now. Conclusion so far is it's very fast (particularly across a LAN - it uses client-server instead of NFS) but it's very complicated to use. I've also found Lone Tar but haven't tried it yet.

This might fall into your "priced" category, but its worth taking a look at.
