This is fine if we are trying to develop and enterprise only backup solution, but the first stated project goal is: "To be able to backup any client from a Palm to a mainframe with the same software". This implies that Bacula should be easy to setup on single computers for small installations. In that kind of a case, there is absolutely nothing wrong with SQLite, and in fact, it is essential in such conditions, which I estimate probably make up 20-50% of the current Bacula users. One alternative to this would be to implement embedded MySQL, something I started on a number of years ago but never had the time to complete. If we could get it to work, we would effectively eliminate the need to support SQLite. Regards, Kern ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
