Hi - I've been playing around with Bacula lately, and am quite simply amazed. Kern, I've really got to hand it to you and your team - you have all put together an amazing piece of software. Thank you for many, many years to come, as I dig even deeper into Bacula. I've become a real stickler

[Bacula-users] Bacula 2.0.0 goodness, RPM SPEC building

Hi, all - Now, Kern, I noticed that you're noted as the RPM package maintainer for the 1.38 series - should the same be assumed about the 2.0 series, as well? I guess what I'm getting at is, I'm sure there are a few people who are plenty eager to find a nice SRPM for the 2.0 series, because we

Good morning - I've not yet started using Bacula, but I'm getting ready to. I'm very impressed with how it works, and the documentation is clear and concise - even without having used bacula yet, I'm very impressed. One thing that I did not see in the documentation was how I could retain a
