Guys,
~    I would like to get input from those with more of an admin
background than myself on backing up my laptop.  If your idea of backup
is tarring to another hard drive, this question is not for you. 8^)  I
am looking for a more granular, full-featured approach to backup and
disaster recovery.  Here are the details of my setup:

Computer: Apple Titanium PowerBook G4 1GHz, 100GB Seagate drive
Ditro: Debian GNU/Linux PowerPC port, sid/unstable
Kernel: 2.6.10
Backup Device: External Firewire 400 60GB drive
Common Debian Backup Applications: amanda, afbackup, tob

~    Here are features that I am looking for:

- - Individual file/directory restoration
- - Incremental/differential backup capability
- - Custom backup set ability, i.e. selective backup of files
- - Support for backup devices other than tape drives

~    Not looking for an "I have heard of this" type of recommendation but
more of an "I am an admin, have used it, and here's why I like it" form
of endorsement.  Thanks in advance for your time.

Regards,
- --
