I've gotten a little further along by discovering I could access the server by giving a username like bacula. Also able to run some of the bacula scripts in /var/lib/bacula However a cursory read of the material you pointed out seems to indicate one needs to be a mysql heavy to run bacula. I was under the impression that bacula did the heavy lifting there. Maybe you can help me decide how to proceed: I came to learn to use bacula, is it also required to become thoroughly proficient with mysql? I know nothing about databases, does that rule me out as a bacula user? If that is the case there are many other choices for backup that do not require learning some whole other area of expertise other than the tool in hand. Bacula has already proven to be a huge time sinc with no real kick back so far. If I were to count the hours I've spent on bacula in the 2 times I started trying to learn it they would top out pretty high like 20-30 solid hours over weeks. I have yet to backup a single file with bacula. Would I be better off spending my time with something more direct and to the point? I looked at bacula because of the network capability. I've come to need a network backup tool since my home network has grown to 5-7 machines and some have at least semi-important data on them. I've been using rsync/rsnaphot which is fully network capable from my linux machines and for what I don't get with rsync, I use ghost from the windows machines, which has some network capability although ghost is grossly overrated as a network tool. Very primitive in that regard. And is really only a whole partition/disc backup tool. There are some problems related to running rsync from linux onto windows shares and again bacula looked promising since it has a client on the actual architecture and I'm guessing that would solve most of those kind of problems. What kind of time frame might I expect to begin to see something getting backed up... That is, for a novice with databases and bacula but a fair bit of experience in things linux. I'm not in a terrific hurry and am under no actual time constraint. Only how long I can maintain an interest compared to effort required. And how long this list will put up with me... : ) I'm a retiree so have a fair bit of available time. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
