Amanda

Amanda, or the Advanced Maryland Automatic Network Disk Archiver is a computer archiving tool that is able to backup data via a network. It uses a client server model and includes:

the backup server and client itself
a tape server
an index server

All three servers do not necessarily need to run on the one machine.

Amanda was developed by the University of Maryland and is released under the GNU General Public License. It is provided without warranties and for no cost. Amanda runs on almost any Unix system, including open source systems.
