Success Story

"Cycorp has been using Amanda for over 7 years now. In that time, we have scaled from backing up a few Gigs to a DLT 2000XT drive to over 2 Terabytes with an SDLT600-based autoloader. Amanda has always scaled with us, and I have no doubt it always will. Our current SUSE 10 Amanda server easily backs up several versions of Linux and even our MySQL databases. We very rarely need to restore anything, but once or twice a year when we do it's easy and reliable. The fact that the software is open-source and doesn't cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars is unheard of. Thanks, Amanda!"
