Back on the discussion at hand, adding those directives might be interesting from a compliance POV.  You set up the SLA's and then you set up your backup schedule.  It can then inform you when you are not incompliance with your stated goals.  That way you still have the ability to set whatever sche

We are still evaluating bacula as well at this point, but between all of the small issues I felt it was my responsibility to at least explore home grown alternatives.  I am working up a proof-of-concept set of tools to do backups.  It's just scaffolding right now, but it's similar to the way rsyn

The other thing to note is that bacula is a (tm) so to use it commercially you must also get permission to use the NAME either directly  from Kern/John or through an implied license IF you are 100% compatible with bacula ( that's my impression Kern, feel free to correct ). http://www.bacula.org/de
