Hello everyone,
this is my first post in the mailing list so i'll write a few things about me,
i'm a sys admin and i'm currently managing several servers (colo, VPS, shared,
etc). I've been looking for a backup system for some time now and Bacula seems
perfect!
i'd also like to add that Bacula
I noticed that the emails generated by Bacula are not very friendly.
For example, there is no proper character set header and as a result, the email
contains garbage when viewed in my email client.
Looking into this problem a bit further, i found out that Bacula takes the
output of dates based
Are there any plans to create Fedora 7 rpms on one of the popular fedora
repositories, like Freshrpms.net, Livna, fedora extras, etc?

What is the best way to backup MySQL databases?
I've got a few web servers that i'd like to backup, which rely heavily on MySQL
for offering dynamic content.
Should i just backup the "/var/lib/mysql/*" directly? Does that mean i have to
shutdown the MySQL process during the backup? (which means

Based on my research, i found out that backing up MySQL is quite un-efficient.
On a small database, you can just dump the contents of MySQL into a file and
then backup that file.
On a large database (several Gigs) dumping to a file should be avoided, for
example, on a hosting service the dump c

indeed, unfortunately our MySQL has a mix of innodb and myisam tables.

I'd like to backup my web server to my local system. So far everything seems to
work fine, i've setup encryption via TLS (certificates, etc) and the services
running under Fedora 7.
Unfortunately, there is one thing that i don't quite understand while reading
the manual. I don't understand how

if you are talking about the MySQL auto increment, then this is how you re-set
it:

It would be nice if there were more compression methods available. I understand
that Bacula is mostly used with tape drivers which do hardware compression, but
those of us using file/disk storage would get a real benefit out of it.
For example, RAR and BZIP2 can achieve an amazingly high compres

How can we exclude all directories (and subdirs/files) that are under user
accounts like:
/home/user1/tmp/webalizer
/home/anotheruser/tmp/webalizer
/home/someotheruser/tmp/webalizer
In other words, i want to exclude webalizer logs from our hosted users on our
web server.
Thank you.

I've setup a bacula to keep backups of a printing system. I'd also like to
offer a web interface to the rest of the office so that when i'm not around
someone without IT skills can just use their web browser to tell bacula to
restore some file.
Is there such a web interface?
Thank you.

When a job ends, it sends me a report via email and in that report it contains:

I'm using TLS encryption in all places (DIR, FD, SD, etc), but the above
