Mainly because I don't know c so going through the code wouldn't help me:) It would be better, but my way has lots of logging and error checking that _I_ can get and interpret. You are very correct, one thing though is that since we cant mandate a dependency on a writer, how do we know if vss was able to guarantee the data was quiesced? I am sure bacula might emit a warning, but I don't know. My script exits non 0 if this occurred etc etc... Since I verify my backup legitimately all the way through to a complete restore I would know but its how I started out doing it. Maybe someone with bacula based vss insight can chime in, I would love to do away with the pain of migrating this technique! jlc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity and more.
