Well, all this being said then, is there anyone out there using any version of Director & Storage Daemon on Mac OS X/Darwin? If so, how did you get it ported and how is it working for you? Thanks.

For the sake of argument, if you were to use a linux distribution such as Ubuntu Hardy, you'd be getting 2.2.8. If you chose ubuntu Karmic (the latest) you'd get 2.4.4. Debian Lenny is 2.4 also. Personally, I don't get that hung up on being at the very major release -- though I do try to be on the latest bug-fixed minor release. We needed to have Win64 support with VSS, so I compiled debian packages for 3.0.2 and our windows clients are all v3.0.3a. At some point we'll move to v5, but I'm not that much of a rush. Hopefully Ubuntu/Debian will catch up with our needs shortly (debian squeeze and ubuntu lucid both have v5) so hopefully I'll be able to delegate the Bacula compilation back to the package archive shortly and let them maintain testing, security fixes, etc. It may mean we're a little late getting v5.1 or v6, but that's okay.
