restoring windows tape archieve in linux

[tapeguy]

Hi
I'm changing my server from a w2k based to turbolinux.

I'v backed up my essential files onto a dds using ms backup.

However, slight problem, how do I restore some of the files from the windows based archieve into linux.
I'm trying a demo of BRU, but it does not want to recognise the tape archieve.

thx

Hi,







You could look at arkeia - its a commercial product but free for 1 server & 2 clients -->

.
I have to say that I don't know whether that recognises M$ backup archives, however.







There is also a project here -->

that does appears to provide what you're looking for but I have no experience of using it myself - try it out I guess..







The main 'free' backup utility for linux is amanda from

http://www.amanda.org

- there is a good write-up on that here -->

Hope this helps
