Hi all, I just wanted to tell about some features I would like to see implemented in/with Bacula.
These features came to my mind after experimenting with a new business idea: Many people and small enterprises don't have real backups right now. My idea is to give them older PCs (currently small Compaq P3s at 700-800 MHz) with new harddisks (from 40-400 GB) and install CentOS + Bacula on the computers. The customers will pay for the initial setup (including hardware) and services (service contract, recovery, maintainance). Currently I'm testing this with a few (four) beta testers. In order to make this product more usable for end users (therefore the subject of my mail) I am missing two features: 1. Python scripts should be able to ask Bacula if the last backup was finished successfully and when the next backup is scheduled. 2. Webinterface for system control (Bacula Web does that partially) and restore (an extension for web-based restore would be that ordinary users may restore their files without any admin intervention). -- Felix ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
