Yes that would be true, if any of his problems were Windows specific. However issue that he's had has been configuration problems of his own making. He's put resource types in the wrong files or keywords in the wrong resources, etc. The closest he's come to a Windows specific issue is this last one with MTWEOF. I've ordered one the Ulrium 232 tape drives to see if I can repro it. > > So I'm going back from zero !! > > not cool ! > > You will probably notice that, in the same time you spend with Bacula on > Windows, you have a company-wide reliable and proven backup setup :-) > Since all the time so far has been writing configuration files and they are pretty much identical between Linux and Windows I disagree. > Of course you won't help making the windows version better, and if > you're a windows admin you'll have difficulties getting used to the > nix/linux taste of things. > The only benefit he's likely to get from moving to Linux is that there are more people here with Linux experience that can assist him. > > Thanks a lot.. > > > > PS: do anybody have a tip for the OpenSuse Bacula installation (I speak > > about something not listed in the doc ;-) ) > > Start with the manual, and try to keep your configuration short and well > documented for a start.
