I don't think clients would need to be reconfigured. The Director Name in the bacula-fd.conf is arbibrary (can be different from the hostname), so a new Director can be started on a different machine with the original name. You could use admin jobs to schedule the syncing of data. __Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
