The Linux systems (about 30) acted as Tivoli (TMF) gateways. The Linux systems were commodity PCs, so when the IDE HDs failed it took hours (usually at least 4) to clean up the Tivoli environment and rebuild the failed gateway. Using Bacula and mkCDrec I cut that time down to under an hour, and most of that time was not spent doing anything except waiting for the restore to finish. I recovered 2 failed Linux systems with Bacula. > > > I would like to thank you and the entire Bacula team for an excellent piece of software.
Thanks for the very nice testimonial. There are many days such as the day I received this email, when I am sitting here fighting some problem in Bacula (DVD writing at the time) saying to myself: "Why in the heck am I doing this?". Well, your testimonial made my day, and reminded me that I do this because I like to hear about other people using and liking software I have written. So many thanks for your kind words. You may be interested to know that I have now integrated the "old" Bacula rescue disk code with mkCDrec code (written by Gratien D'haese") so that in the near future, Bacula users can have Bacula automatically put on a mkCDrec recovery disk. I've copied Gratien because I am sure he will be as pleased as I was to hear that his software is helping people. Thanks again, Kern PS: I'm curious how you got the Bacula recovery code onto his disk. PPS: Would you mind if I posted your testimonial on the Bacula web site? I prefer to post it as is, but, at your request, will be happy to remove your name or obscure Tivoli's name. > > Jeff Richards > Consultant > > > --------------------------------- > Yahoo!
