Martin, Cedric, Thanks for the input.
I think my understanding as to how to set up Bacula is a bit off!
The configuration is this:
mistral Ubuntu machine runs the Director, fd and sd with a USB hard drive
connected to back up to. mistral hosts sugarcrm and the database is backed up.
cumulus is a NAS without a client and an nfs mount point allows it to be backed
up.
typhoon Ubuntu machine runs a client and is backed up using the typhoon-fd
Both glyn-laptop and colyn-acer-7 are windows laptops and are running clients.
Both are backed up during the daytime schedule using the file daemons.
>From what you are saying, I don't need multiple catalogs, am I right?
I would appreciate a critique of the director.conf which I have pasted below,
so I can get Bacula running smoothly. I hope you don't mind pasting such a
large lump...
