Hi,
our redhat farm is growing (rhel 3 4 5) and the only backup we do is an incremental filesystembackup, which makes it very hard to restore the complete os
is there a solution for a complete os-backup to a network server, like nim in aix,
an the possibility to restore the whole red hat os via tftp or something like that?
thanks in advance

I would recommend you look at something like going with a kickstart for your basic build process (You can even do a kickstart from DVD/CD and use a USB drive to hold your config file for anaconda).
Then you can use tar or some other utilities for backup
Otherwise, Amanda is supposed to be very good.
However, you should consider making the effort to get kickstart working for easy customization and consistency of your machines
