Larry, You would be better off running a filesystem with snapshots and mirrored local disks for that type of data recovery. I would still do Bacula backups, but only daily so that you have something to send offsite. I mean, how do you expect to restore a system if it dies completely? Do you need to have them working again right away with no real downtime execpt and hour's loss of data? Does the end user just move to a new system? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mobile security can be enabling, not merely restricting.
