I'm looking at methods to back up large amounts (> 50GB) of data over a
network. All of the information I've gotten so far has been on exabyte
systems, and I was wondering if there was any other systems in use out
there.

My criteria are:

1.) Can't be using hard disk to back up hard disk
2.) media must be cheap
3.) Package must be easy to run, or can be called from crontab
4.) Recovery of single or multiple files must be as easy as possible
5.) Must have more security and/or provide more information than rdump.

I will definitely take combinations of the above :-)


Thanks
