Hello; Forgive me for off-topic but I figured this would be the best place to say how happy I am with this software.
I've been working to build a backup setup with amanda for 30 days. After that time, I got it working but the 10 servers I have to backup took 14 hours, that the best I could manage to reduce to was 8 hrs. I don't use tapes. Just 15 rotated 400 G SATA drives.Besides, the tape emulation of amanda was hard to deal with, and never got the incremental backups to work. Well, then came bacula. After throughly reading everything I could for 4 days, I spent another 4 days experimenting with different forms of bacula-dir.conf, backingup, restoring, until I got my final .confs ready on the 10 day. On the night of that day (a monday), bacula did its 1rst production backup, 127 gigs of data from 10 different servers on our network,FLAWLESSLY in 3 hrs and 45 minutes. And also flawlessly went the incrementals till the next monday, full dump day, when I swaped to disk 2. Don't know if this is a real wonder for everybody, but with the results i've been having so far, it was !. I'm writing just to say thanks to the authors for this masterpiece. If anyone is interested on the specs of our setup, the scripts I wrote to swap the disks (i.e. to bring back the system to the state it was with the swapped disk (database included) or to prepare a new disk), the .confs, I'll be happy to share.
