PC backup to tape drive on SUN

Post by Leslie S Est » Thu, 05 Jan 1995 06:36:18



I have a SUN SPARC 20, Solaris 2.3, with a tape backup unit.  Connected
to the network are PCs running PC-NFS 5.1.  I am trying to provide
unattended backup for the PCs to the tape backup unit on the SUN.  I
understand there is a SUN product called Networker that will accomplish what I
need.  What are peoples experience with networker and are there other
products available or ideas?

Thanks, Steve

Call PDC (formerly Delta Microsystems) at 1-800-654-4732 or email them at

They sell BudTool which is a non-proprietary backup product. The product
works great in your environment. No client side software.

Or if you are running WfW on your PC, look at samba and sambatar
available from a PD archive near you...

1. Backup options for PC to sun tape drive

I've been researching how to backup our pcs connected to our unix (solaris) network.
Some of the options we are considering are using nfs software to backup to an nfs
shared drive and then copying that to the tape, getting a tape drive that can be walked
around to the PC so they can be backed up directly, or third-party software that
automates everything.  I've considered the tar -> rsh solution, but it doesn't work
well with large drives.  The software SunExpress recommened seems nice, but is
very expensive ~$5000.  If you have solved this problem, or have any ideas please
let me know.

thanks
