Folks,

I need help please.  I'm rather busy for the next few weeks and 
cannot answer these questions. They are from a journalist writing 
about Bacula.

If you could fill in what you know, and someone else can fill in the 
rest.  Thank you.

Subject:                Questions about Bacula

Dear Dan Langille,

I am doing a research for the german Linux Technical Review, a sister 
publication of the Linux-Magazine, about commercial and open-source 
Backup- and Storage-Solutions. 

In spite of my extensive online research about "Bacula 2.0.3", the 
following open questions remain:


- is the NDMP protocol supported?

- are LAN-free and/or Serverless backups possible?

- does Bacula support centralized management and is it possible to 
use storge devices attached to another server than the one with 
Bacula installed?

- can the bandwidth be limited, that is used by the backup process?

- is it possible to use the built-in snapshot functionality of hard 
or software for automated backups?

- does your software supports the creation of user groups with 
specific privileges?

- are multiple data streams to the backup medium supported 
(multiflow, multiplexing)?

- are Virtual Tape Libraries supported?

- is there a disaster recovery function for the Bacula server for 
other operation systems than Linux available?

- are there modules to back up specific applications like databases 
without shutting them down?

- is it possible to clone backup media?

- is disk-to-disk-to-tape supported?


I would appriciate if you could help me answering the open questions 
to describe your product as detailed as possible.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Yours faithfully,
Joachim Clemens
