[SunHELP] Backup Techniques / Scripts

[Alex Flores]

Thanks for the info Mike.

I thought I read or someone might have told me that ufsdump requires the 
partitions to be unmounted.  Is this correct?  This box will be our 
mailserver and cannot afford to unmount anything.

Amanda looks promising though, I am looking into setting it up.

Thanks,
Alex F.
