-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I use the Blastwave packages, and as a matter of fact recently moved from using my own packages to using Blastwave's packages (mainly for ease of updates). Works great.
A note on your archive device... at the very least, you need 0n. Bacula doesn't like tape devices that are rewinding (n is non-rewinding). b, for BSD behavior, might also be required. Hopefully I'm not giving you information you don't need, but: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/solaris-tape-device-names-and-control-the-tape-drive.html (did a quick Google search) -- the others are pretty much up to you. I tend to use cbn or lbn, depending upon the makeup of my data.
