I was wondering... would be nice to have a maildir backup plugin,
where
one could backup a maildir and have its contents indexed and
restorable
by sender, subject, date, attachments, etc.. I could try to write one
myself, but wouldn't have the required skills and time. Has anyone
ever
though about this? Is it doable?
It is a good idea. It should be easy. The problem is, who wants to use it?
Good question, at least me. Not that I ever needed anyway, but seems
cool and rather useful in an event. :)
Not to mention a mysql plugin, where one could restore specific
database, table, row, on a live system....
Well, a mysql plugin for hot backup should be available soon :)
Is there an ETA?
But a problem is it will backup a whole mysql instance, not a specific
database, table or row. The main problem with restoring database
objects on a live system is database data integrity. You can't restore
a particular row without checking table or column constraints,
triggers or else.
Sure.
I think those are the features lacking on bacula to put it side-by-side
with commercial products. Pls, no flames! Bacula is great, I love it,
and would not change it for a commercial one even if they were free, I
am just making a feature request and brain storming. That could even
pave the path for Exchange, MS-SQL, Firebird, Oracle, etc...
A plugin for backup of Exchange is available for some time. Plugin for
Oracle is on newest project TODO list.
But to compete with other commercial products, Bacula should have a
strong commercial support and development, so not all new feature will
be available on community version, only on enterprise one - check
Kerns email on bacula-devel a few weeks ago.
Thanks God I don't care about exchange. But I do about MS-SQL. Any plans
for that? Currently I use community version, but with a MS-SQL plugin it
could change.
