Hi All --
I will be giving a demonstration and talk about Bacula to a local Linux
User's group in San Diego, California next week. I plan to take three
systems: one backup server, one Linux client, and one Windows XP client.
If everything goes well I will briefly go through the system architecture
and configuration files, then do a partial backup of all three systems
(concurrently), then restore a few files to one of them.
The presentation is limited to under 2 hours including a question and
answer period. The backups will be to hard disk.
If anyone has any prepared materials that might be helpful for such a talk
I would very much appreciate hearing from you. And if anyone has any
comments or suggestions on what to cover, I'm all ears.
Maybe outline the differences versus Amanda, as much of your audience
likely have experience with that.
Hit those painful points of Amanda, and explain how Bacula is better in
configuration, autoloader support, scheduling, client support,
full/incr, simple restores, restore to different locations and different
hosts, the option of adding checksums to files on media, No need for
.rhosts or ssh/rsh configuration, and all the other good stuff.
Is the WX-Console on Windows working for restores now? Show the pretty
tree-structure for restore.
Oh, and a screenshot that reads:
(How often have this happened to YOU?)
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
and hammer on the risks and shortcomings of tar and friends
