I'm sorry I forgot to mention this: not only the software is old, but typically those machines control some special (non-computer) harware equipment, obviously use simple delay loops to generate timings, and may have eg. a custom ISA-bus interface card. That could be quite a challenge for the virtualization in modern hardware ;-) I do have a couple of those similar old computers available as spare parts, so the problem is easy way to manage backups. Of course, I could make disk image copies etc (that has been done sometimes), but I just was wondering if Bacula could make things easier... -- TiN ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
