Nice. Thanks for pointing this out. I am going to follow it. Another interesting fact is that Bacula (all releases) has been downloaded over a million times -- something like 3 or 4 times the number of Amanda and BackupPC. Our total download volume is over 7 TB! Bacula is definitely being used more and more and by some amazingly large corporation, which I hope wil in the near future become "references", and then we can list them :-) Regards, Kern ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
