* Package name : bacula-fd5.2 Version : 5.2.13 Upstream Author : Kern Sibbald * URL : http://www.bacula.org * License : Mainly GPL, parts LGPL, BSD and others. See http://www.bacula.org/git/cgit.cgi/bacula/tree/bacula/LICENSE?h=Branch-5.2 Programming Lang: C, C++ Description : legacy bacula file daemon Bacula is a set of programs to manage backup, recovery, and verification of data across a network of computers of different kinds. . The file daemon has to be installed on the machine to be backed up. It is responsible for providing the file attributes and data when requested by the Director, and also for the file system-dependent part of restoration. . This package is intended for machines that are backed up from another machine by an older bacula-director (5.x). Once the bacula-director has been upgraded, this package should be replaced by the regular bacula-fd. Bacula directors 5.x and bacula file daemons 7.x aren't compatible, so this package is intended for backup clients on sites where the backup-server is running an older debian release than the client, or don't want to use eventual backported newer bacula packages. This is to address concerns raised in bugs #805306 and #806205. (resent to debian-devel as I missed adding it manually in Cc)
