Regarding the bacula manual... It's not very Linux specific and is really one of the better manuals I've used for an open source project. Far better than many commercial manuals imho. It's long because bacula has a lot of features--many of which a new implementation won't use but may be desire

I think you may be thinking of a lab setup, but the original poster seems to have been talking about putting bacula into production. Understanding how to recompile is indeed very important. And actually recompiling makes a lot of sense in a lab environment. It really is not very difficult. Reco

1) If you use the version that's not the latest, the bacula folks will most likely just tell you to upgrade to the latest version, so you might as well start there now and try to stay current. 2) On open source software that's where development is still "active" I'd highly recommend learning t

There is no 100% cut-and-dried answer here, but a couple thoughts: - Regardless of what you do, I would not use a version older than, say, 2.2. Preferably use 2.4. - You may want to stay with the version you have been testing. After all, your test results may not apply to other versions. - If

If your daily modified data can fit into an LTO3 (about 600GB in my experience), may be you can set an incremental forever policy for your schedule. Usually restore requests on file servers refer to a file or directory, so only one tape is necessary to accomplish the job. Of course, in case of a d
