Utility like Ignite UX.

All,

Ignite UX is a very good utility in HP UX. The same way do Redhat has any similar one to take the backup of the root drives to a tape ?

Thanks !

Have a look at systemimager at www.systemimager.org. I'm not sure about tapes, but it will crash recover your system over the network.

Shalom,

Doesn't really exist.

http://www.mondorescue.org works reasonably well and the price is right.

http://www.acronis.com works very well but costs money.

Hi Silver,

In Linux KICKSTART is a similar utility.

It is tha more or less same as the IGNITE UX in HPUX and

JUMPSTART in Solaris.

It allows us to create images/backup of the servers and restore thru LAN boot.

We can make lots of customisations too, depending on config, MAC etc (of client) we can assign the images.

Regards,

Siva.

Two more alternatives, one open source and one commercial, both from HP:
