Oh, you don't trust open source? Is that why you are looking for a
backup solution for Linux or BSD?
Personally, I made very good experiences with bacula. I like it quite a
bit better than Backup Exec (on Windows), never completely trusted that,
actually.

No one is trashing it. I never said it's bad. It's open source and not as

A lot of people use Bacula and it works. Please stop trashing Bacula

something that needs fixed. You can not use localhost or 127.0.0.1 in

Since then, I have backed up 30TB+ with bacula and had very little
