Hi All,

I'm getting a little fustrated with linux backup. I have about 30GB of data
residing on RedHat linux 7.1 that needs to be backed up. I've done backup
with GNU tar with compression but it only backs up 2GB worth of data onto
another machine. However, if I have 7GB of free space on the same machine,
tar will go over the 2GB limit. So that part confuses me.

I'm kinda hoping that someone knows a better way of backing up large data.
I've somewhat been reading Amanda but I'm not sure if that's the way to go.
I may be wrong since I'm new to linux backups.

Any suggestions/recommendations or pointers to go to websites to research on
would be greatly appreciated. Not having much luck on my own.

Thanks,
Ed
