[BackupPC-users] What's coming for next version (3.2)?

[Arch Willingham]

I saw where there is a beta being worked on for version 3.2 of Backuppc. Anyone 
have any idea of the highlights?

Thanks!

[BackupPC-users] BackupPC vs. Bacula

[Arch Willingham]

I have been looking at (and installed) both packages. I have tried to find a 
comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of each as compared to the other 
but found nothing very informative. Any ideas-thoughts from anyone out there?

Thanks,

Arch

- BackupPC is more geared towards backing up to hard drives, Bacula is  
more geared towards backing up to tape.
- Bacula uses a Bacula agent on each host you backup, BackupPC uses  
stock rsync(d)/tar/smbclient on the hosts you backup.
- BackupPC has a nice web interface that makes it very easy to restore  
files.

You can use tape or disk volumes with bacula. I find it difficult to
use tapes with backuppc for regular backup.

There are some web-gui projects for bacula (maybe too many) and bat
(qt app). But they are add-ons and the integration is not as 
easy as with backuppc.


IMHO the biggest difference is the pooling feature backuppc offers.
There is nothing like this in bacula at the moment.

And I found it somewhat cumbersome to use hard drives with Bacula. So  
that's why I said that.

Ah yeah, forgot to mention that. Compression and pooling lets me store  
1.8 TB worth of backups in just over 300 GB of disk space. Gotta love  
that. If your hosts all have the same OS and everything the ratio is  
probably even more spectacular.

That shouldn't be necessary.

I'd like to understand why BackupPC thinks the backup failed - there
don't appear to be any errors.  I've seen this reported a couple of
times.

First I'd like to know the version of smbclient you are using.
Second, would you mind inserting a few debug messages (that I
will send you) and re-run?

We can take this off list.
