Shon, If it took you four months to figure out how Bacula works maybe you shouldn't be allowed near any computer!
There are ways and means to do things in Bacula and let me tell you this if you couldn't do it or find a way you are really incompetent and again should be allowed to operate a PC. I have Bacula running at several sites without a glitch and backing up over 1 TB of data on one site with a LTO3 Autoloader, and BTW this was done when I was still a novice in the Linux World, so if I could do it anyone can............well it looks like you're the excpetion not the rule. On the Windows side of things there are no problems, I've backuped and restored several machine using Bacula and the Bart PE and with great success. Basically I can't see that its useable for anything more than backing up a single system, and even then better be careful.........WHAT, ARE YOU OUT OF FREAKING MIND, YOU NUMB SKULL, here is a tip and I'll try to do this in a language that you might understand LEARN.........HOW........TO........USE.........A..........COMPUTER You know what Bacula Users........good riddance to bad trash and lastely he'll 10 to 1 make a [EMAIL PROTECTED] up of the other software as well!
