Gidday, I was at LISA06 (http://www.usenix.org/events/lisa06/). I spent my time at BSD booth for the trade-show part of the event. Also helping out was Dru Lavinge (blogs.ittoolbox.com/unix/bsd/ ).
During the first day (Wednesday), I found out that Bacula was part of one of the courses being taught at the conference. More than one person mentioned that Æleen Frisch spoke for about 30 minutes on Bacula. http://www.usenix.org/events/lisa06/training/tutonefile.html#s4 I also had a look at the Linux Administration Handbook. It contains about 20 pages on Bacula. A quick scan through the Backups section shows that Bacula is featured. Nearly half of Backups: Chapter 9 is on Bacula. See http://www.amazon.ca/Linux-Administration-Handbook-Evi- Nemeth/dp/toc/0131480049 or http://tinyurl.com/y2m3vt On the second day of the trade show (Thursday), I started polling people about Bacula. I asked 22 people if they had heard of Bacula. 15 said yes (68%). Three of those people were using Bacula, two with PostgreSQL. For some time I've known that Bacula has been making great strides into the backup market. Commercial tutors are devoting time to Bacula in their courses. Authors are including Bacula in their books. But most important of all: Bacula also has great name recognition. :) -- Dan Langille : Software Developer looking for work my resume: http://www.freebsddiary.org/dan_langille.php PGCon - The PostgreSQL Conference - http://www.pgcon.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
