I'm very impressed, are you doing *just* exchange backup or do you have implemented other filed features ?

It sound very good ! I'm not sure, but seens your program doesn't use any part of bacula, i think that you can use the licence that you want. > Does anyone have any documentation on how I should prepare the source > code for release under GPL2 (headers, included documentation, etc)? > Obviously the GPL2 itself specifies this, but the last time I read the > GPL cover to cover was about 10 years ago and I don't fancy doing it > again unless I have to (which...
