Are there any public domain Multi-Vendor backup management systems?

        systems?

	There are at least two such programs which are as follows:

	Amanda from the University of Maryland which is written in
	C and built on top of standard UNIX backup software
	such as dump/restore. The current source is available from
	ftp.cs.umd.edu in the /pub/amanda directory.

	OSU Backup from Ohio State University which is written in perl
	and built on top of standard UNIX backup software such as
	dump/restore, cpio, and GNU tar. It has the ability to backup
	some database systems(like ORACLE). Finally, it is evolving to
	support the backup of PCs via a proxy service. The current 
	source is available from ftp.cis.ohio-state.edu in /pub/backup.
