This is troublesome too. I know you don't mean literally a tar file but it is some kind of tape like structure where to get to old backups one needs to plow threw a bunch of newer stuff (bacula does, I guess, to get to where it can read and copy what you asked for) In my experience this is time consuming. (And here I'm refering to tar and rar. At times also involving compression so that would be a factor) So, I guess the database being involved with bacula, allows that time consuming chore to happen quickly enough that it isn't much of a problem? ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
