Thanks. That gives me pleasure to hear ... :-)

Continue on the same path slowly becoming enterprise grade software, with more
and more contributions from other Open Source developers, and with me
devoting more time to ensure high quality integration of those contributions
and to improve the quality of what is released ...

Bacula will not become a commercial product while I have something to say
about it, and I doubt that even after I am gone it will go commercial. Right
now a Foundation to guarantee Bacula's future Open Source status is too
expensive . However, who knows what we will see in a year or two. The project
certainly seems to be gaining momentum, so things are looking possitive, and
given the horrible economic climate that is shaping up, and the participation
of some "big players" in Bacula's evolution, Bacula's future is looking
brighter and brighter ...
