I've been using the "personal" version ARKEIA to backup my linux and
Win98/linux boxes (I only have two...the linux box has the DAT drive and the
other switches back and forth from linux to Win98 depending on who is using
it). I believe that ARKEIA only supports SCSI tape device(s).
With the linux donationware version (ARKEIA suggest you donate some $$$) you
get one server license and a couple of Win or linux clients. The idea is
that you have a server and client for the same host and either a Win or
linux client for a second host. This allows you to backup one host across a
network. The personal edition of BRU only supports one host...no network
clients.
I've had no problems at all with ARKEIA. It loaded easily and worked right
off. The interface is intuitive. That's good because I found their help
screens a little useless.
