I have a whole bunch of clients. With what I understand of bacula so far, I need a job for each client. So if I'm understanding this, each backup client will need three stanzas -- a client stanza, a job stanza for the daily full or incremental, and a job stanza for the monthly archive. Is this correct? I'm using a jobdef for each OS type. > You are talking about tapes correct?
