Here's my setup: 
Debian Lenny / Bacula 2.4.3 / BAT / Webmin
Couple 250GB SATA Drives Mirrored
No tapes, going to stick to HDD storage

Question 1.
When trying to start BAT from the command line I have to specify with
the -c switch a configuration file every time. Is it possible to get
this to be automatic when I type just BAT? It seems to work fine for
starting the daemons.

Question 2. 
Where can I find a copy of the default bacula-dir.conf in the 2.4.3 tar
file? I've edited some of the entries for the default Catalog backup and
the default schedule it uses, I'd like to go back to default and start
again (maybe with some includes so I don't screw up the catalog runs).
Maybe there is a copy of the default director config somewhere on the
internet? I can't track it down in the extracted folder from the install
tar package, but I may just be looking in the wrong place.

Question 3. Is it possible to save your backup to two places with the
same job? My files will be stored on the same server and partition as
everything else . The only other computer in my equation so far is the
client. While the drives in the server are mirrored, I'd also like to
store the files one more time on another windows server (shared
drived/networked storage). I know I can probably make it happen through
third party software or some type of cron job, but I'd like the
secondary storage location to use the same pruning rules as the primary
storage location.

Thanks for any help, sorry if I am asking dumb questions, I'm a windows
baby. I really love Bacula though, been using it for years and didn't
even know it (bought a revinetix appliance). With webmin its almost as
easy to setup and use as revinetix, even for a winblows user like
myself. I just can't get restores to work through webmin yet, but that's
no big deal considering how much easier the config files are to deal
with.

Sorry if I'm breaking any mailling list rules or common sense stuff.
Please correct me, I learn quick. And just as an FYI I did try to search
the archive a bit, but damn is it slow to respond.

Thanks,
Paul Cable
