Well, here's an older version, dated September 2008: http://searchstorage.techtarget.com/magazineFeature/0,296894,sid5_gci1331591,00.html The interviewed Chris Hoogendyk is certainly no stranger to our list here. He was, among others, very adamant about getting the feature we call 'accurate backup' and which has been available as of release 3.0.0: http://www.mail-archive.com/search?q=Hoogendyk&l=bacula-users%40lists.sourceforge.net Personally, I can't claim to administer anything remotely as big as the "biology and geology departments at the University of Massachusetts Amherst", (I do admin several thousand users at my job, but my Bacula install only has a measly 10 users and 13 computers to worry about) however if they interviewed me, I'd gladly tell them why I dropped Amanda for Bacula back in 200something. ;) The resuling piece would be just as biased as this 'article'. Then again, I can't help but be biased, because I've now spent several years using the very mature, extremely stable and rather feature rich Bacula Open Source Network Backup Solution, and it is still a pleasure watching it bloom and improve with every release. - - Michel -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) iEYEARECAAYFAkpl4M0ACgkQ2Vs+MkscAyXS8wCguXOTBMWlb+aFQpsi29hv1Um8 dC8Anj/vxVY9mG07pUDOVT3/tuP5E7Wz =IALT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
