Dan, I said I compiled and installed the program but had not done configuration, implies I had some exposure to some docs somewhere. If you care to help here is a reply to a guy that gave me an off-list reply of sorts, as of yet I have not received what he spoke about which might prove to be partially helpful:
"That might be very helpful please forward. All I want is a setup where I can grab backups from some machines out in the network (internet) and store the backed up data on disk (not on tape), so I don't need all the tape configuration stuff...yet. In the docs it is not clear to me how to setup the database, although it says run the scripts there is no example, I looked in the script it seems to require a db password, but I don't know which script to run first or how to proceed based on the docs, perhaps the guys on this list have had it configured for so long they don't remember...!
