I am currently preparing an article/lecture about NetBSD and Backups
and am still looking for further software.
Currently I have the base system utilities (dump, tar, cpio, pax),
other versions of them (afio, gnu tar) and tools like
rsync/rdiff-backup and G4U.
For networks I have amanda and bacula.
Are there other solutions (eq. commercial) to backup NetBSD computers
in a network?
I read that Arkeia is able to backup NetBSD Clients and PostgreSQL,
is anyone using that?

Having fought rdiff-backup for some time before moving across
to rsnapshot, that should probably be in the list.

There are at least a few commercial solutions which will run on, say,
Linux, Solaris, AIX or HP-UX where you can NFS mount the NetBSD box
and back it up that way. I think people do this.

Probably not very elegant though.

There used to be a binary of networker client available at last for
some arches for NetBSD (at last i386, sparc and alpha). I used it 4 years ago
to backup NetBSD system against a solaris networker server. I've since
then switched to amanda, but I think these binaries are still available,
and should still run thanks to NetBSD's backward compatibility.
