Mark,
No sense of entitlement here. I like to run things and then figure them
out. If there is nothing available then I'll
pick through the docs until I get it, eventually. As for lecturing me
about what a web hosting company is supposed
to do, save your breath, been hosting a long time and never put anything
into production that is not fully tested,
understood, and tweaked!
PS - Most software that I test has a full run-through in the quick
start, including a list of critical items which may
need to be tweaked so that the main challenge becomes compilation and
then integration. Software that challenges
on initial configuration should be questioned (yes, question the
software) for its sense of "entitlement"! And please don't
say because it is free or open source that it should be that way, I have
been building Apache since it had no run through
and well know the difference, I prefer open source to every thing else I
have encountered out there, especially on the
server side!
Be well,
Randy

If you care to help here is
a reply to a
guy that gave me an off-list reply of sorts, as of yet I have not
received what he spoke about
which might prove to be partially helpful
Randy, you're sort of coming across as though you feel a sense of
entitlement, "I built Bacula from source but I don't feel like reading
documentation or putting the slightest bit of effort into this, so
someone give me a cookie-cutter setup". That may well just be due to
the nature of email as a communications medium, so don't take offense
to that unless that's really how you mean it.
Backups are probably not the best item to take shortcuts with
(especially at a hosting company!), and you can spend one afternoon
with the excellent documentation and have all the understanding you
need to get Bacula up and running in your environment, in a way that
suits your needs. Can you make some time for the documentation?
You'll be far better protected than if you just throw in some
configurations that you don't understand and start running it. I
guarantee the list it helpful when you show up and ask an informed
question that shows you've done at least a bit of homework.
