Just because a piece of software is old shouldn't mean it should start failing all of a sudden... > As for now I believe I would have to: > 1. for each client set up a bacula-fd agent Correct. > 2. for each client have a specific file set For each unique set of files you need a FileSet.

Correct. You'll also need a bacula-dir agent installed somewhere, from the sounds of it, this is going to be on the same machine as the -sd, which is fine. > Would anyone provide me a schema for a bacula-dir.conf for the Bacula server > that would do the trick, i.e, backup all seven clients to a single tape > according to the schedule? If only it were that easy. Have a go yourself and if you hit upon any specific problems, try asking here. You might want to set up a test system. Install the fd's on the machines and set up bacula-dir and bacula-sd on a test PC, running backups to hard disk. Then you can test your configuration (and, more importantly, your retention times, tape rotatations and restorations). -- Russell Howe | Why be just another cog in the machine, [EMAIL PROTECTED] | when you can be the spanner in the works? ------------------------------------------------------- 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
