Hey, oh. I can admit that it might be launched from a menu, but on my system, ./gconsole it probably the most frequently issued command. > Something like > > bacula-gui > bacula-admin-gui > > would be also be easy for shell users, provided tab completion is being used; > mixed case would be problematic, however, especially at the beginning. > > > badmin is a GUI project to create a Bacula Administrative Console. > > > > This console should be capable of the following things: > > > > - graphical creation of FileSets > > How would it deal with inclusion of lists ?

I can then simply check directories at the the top of the tree and get everything or walk down the tree and include/exclude what I want. This might not be one of the first features, but once we have a nice graphical interface, all sorts of "standard" things like this that already exist with other commercial backup products in the Microsoft world (well some have it on Unix too) will become possible in the Bacula world. > > Just my $0.02, > Davide Bolcioni > -- > Paranoia is an afterthought. > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Take Surveys.
