    Some people/networks see no problems with rdump. In most cases, I myself
    would recommend amanda though.
    Amanda has the distinct advantage of being able to spool data to the
    "holding disk" at which point another utility writes this to the tape.
    This eliminates the t(h?)rashing Christoph mentioned.
    This is almost word for word out of the documenation.

    Amanda can also be configured to compress on the client, and send to the
    server. This is much more efficient than transferring text files, etc.

    HTH,
