Yes, once I run an iteration of the whole process, I will need to do a drill with full data recovery from DVD. The most challenging scenario is, of course, the backup server itself has crashed. All other scenarios appear simple, it's just this one that seems unclear to me yet. I've a chicken-and-egg problem with recovering the MySQL database from the DVDs, since it appears that I need it to run Bacula to begin with. Sounds like fun. :-) -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
