I've been using it for around 6 months and it has worked very well for tapeless backups. It was easy to setup, it has nice tools to work with, and I've had no problems as of yet. I also like the fact that you can customize the way it names your backup files. Makes it easier to verify what was done when. If you're curious, I'm backing up around 15 windows desktops and one SuSE server which is 15 more machines than you need, but you get the picture... it works! You can also setup external path files that the director reads when iniating a job so that you can add files to be backed up on the fly by adding them to the path file. No need to restart the daemon to add files to a particular backup. Not sure if Amanda does this? Also, it works well with Windows and Linux. It's very cool IMHO that they're using the WxWidgets for their client GUIs. I love when software works well and looks good across multiple OS. Sorry for the long reply, but I had to give bacula a good plug. -Eric _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Help beta test TCLUG's potential new home: http://plone.mn-linux.org Got pictures for TCLUG?
