Well, if I plan to use it along with Bacula, a client needs another amount of data-space in a backup-server (and a chroot'ed user for rsync) - user would then rsync his data into the server and Bacula would back it up every night, right? Sounds complicated for a wider use. I still think that if there was a way for marking a failed job as successful, it would be just about enough. -- Silver ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
