I plan on using bacula to backup approx. 7 Apple 10.2 and 10.3.x servers to a Fedora Core 3 server with 1.2 tb's of harddrive space. I have Bacula installed on my Fedora server and all seems well. I installed bacula on the mac servers. I havent configured my first backup yet, is there a FAQ for setting up the mac clients. I am currently reading through the extensive pdf manual. Seems like a terrific piece of software, kudos to all who took part in developing it.
OSX clients are setup exactly the same as the other "unix" clients, so it's well documented already. By "unix" I really mean "not windows" as the bacula-fd operates the same on all "not windows" machines I've worked with so far. For me, that's Solaris 8,9,10, Linux, OSX.
Unfortunately, I haven't found a decent package for Darwin, so I just compile and distribute the binary myself. I think you really only need bacula-fd, bacula-fd.conf and ensure that the working directory exists. It's probably easiest to use inetd on OSX to start bacula-fd.
