Legato Client for freeBSD.

[David Robillard]

Hi Phillip,

Sure, no problem :)

If you do try it out, I'd like to know if it actually works !

And if it doesn't, well, I've been thinking of other ways you could
solve your problem.

One is to enable FreeBSD's Linux Compatibility and use Letgato's Linux
client (I suppose they have one?)

Another way of doing would be to either rsync, dump, cpio or tar your
data over to another Legato supported platform and then backup that
one. Something like this works great once you've setup ssh keys
without passphrases:

dump -0uaL -f - / | ssh login at other-legato-supported-machine "gzip -9 >
/path/to/backup/directory/root.dump"

Finally, I also found those:

http://ftp8.ua.freebsd.org/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/commerce/networking/legato/
(no idea if it's any good?)

http://www.freebsd.uwaterloo.ca/twiki/bin/view/Freebsd/LegatoNetworker
(looks good, but does it work?)

Good luck!

DA+
