Well, I'm mostly a home user. I have a few virtual machines that I back up and I just migrated to Bacula from IBMs Tivoli Storage Manager 5.5. TSM was absolutely fantastic - but its only supported on RHEL6 etc. I've managed to get Bacula running, but only through persistance. The documentation is certainly written by those who fully understand the software - with the assumption that you understand it too. There are multiple things that I have not been able to find answers to anywhere - that I'll just have to suck it up and see. This includes Migration of backup jobs, using removable drives as 'offsite' storage, and the entertainment that is vchanger :\ There is a lot of things that I've just set up on a 'well, it seems to work, but no idea if its right' kind of basis :) As such, support for non-business people is - well, as the OP says, rather poor. I'd love to see the documentation simplified and revamped to make sense - and not written from the viewpoint of someone who writes bacula - but I'm not holding my breath :P -- Steven Haigh Email: net...@crc.id.au Web: http://www.crc.id.au Phone: (03) 9001 6090 - 0412 935 897 Fax: (03) 8338 0299
