Very Computer

Hello,

I'm looking for a good backup tool for Linux. Does anyone have a
suggestion ?

Any number. Taper, BRU, Amanda, Kdat and the good old standbys - tar,
cpio, dump - Take your pick. My personal favourite is Taper on Linux and
on FreeBSD I just use plain ole tar.

Don

I have tried taper but I keep getting segmentation fault errors that crash
the program during the backup process. Any ideas?

I looked around, used tar for a while but have switched to Arkeia.  It has
a nice GUI frontend, maintains a tape library, etc.  It is rather difficult
to get started with but once installed and jobs set it's very reliable and
very easy to do restores with.  There's a free version available for
home/personal use.  It's available at;
