Star Open Source Backup and Archiving Project Amanda Grows Up
Linked by Chander Kant on Tue 29th Nov 2005 08:51 UTC
General Development This was a mixed Thanksgiving weekend for open source communities. We had a renewed PR onslaught from proprietary software vendors ("Linux is anti-commercial") and even hardball politics. But there were lot of interesting announcements made: Firefox 1.5, codenamed "Deer Park" will finally be unwrapped on November 29th (I have been using the beta, and I love it). Among all this activity and with little fan-fare, the Amanda project launched its new Wiki and Forums.

Yes Amanda can backup Windows. It uses samba to access the windows volumes to be backed up.

Using Samba for Windows is not what I would consider a "Windows backup". What about sparse files? Backing up windows databases with native tools (Exchange for example)?
