-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Howdy,
What I want to know is has anyone tried using Bacula as a system imaging tool? Are there any caveats I should be on the lookout for? Any potential problems people might see? I have been on the lookout for an alternative system imaging tool to replace Ghost. I've been testing a few out, but had an idea this morning. I have a Bacula backup system in place now, why not setup another Bacula system to be a long term archiving/imaging tool. I think it could be easy to use and cheap (a good bonus). The preliminary idea is to use VMWare server to host the master images. When the images get updated, run a Bacula backup to get the changes into the imaging system. To image a computer, use Reatogo-X-Pe with a Bacula client running on it. Format the disk, do a restore job, and then fix up the MBR/Booting. It feels like a workable idea. Thoughts? - -- /*********************************************************\ | Tim Schaab | Computer Facilities | | 608-262-3738 | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | UW-Madison | Geology & Geophysics | \******** GPG Key: http://dev-zero.org/pubkey.asc ********/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFFUfuBCR3ITS1QXGYRAtQIAKCppf8rNo/Aa7HW4NGbKYOB0BZeqwCeN684 iwgRYRCy+6oZt27ade6trEQ= =Blyv -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
