Hello All,
I am looking for a backup solution which has the following features:
1. Back up to removable hard drives
2. Span multiple target drives
3. Maintain a virtual fileysystem so all snapshots look like a single
backup volume to the user.
4. Maintain an easily monitored index so the

That doesn't sound very efficient.

OK, I installed Bacula, but I am having problems installing the GUI. I am
running Debian "Lenny" on an AMD Athlon 64 x 2. I installed Bacula using
the KDE package Manager, but I don't see a .deb source for the gui. I
downloaded the .tar source from bacula.org and used the instructions from

After nosing around for a day or two, I have decided that Bacula

it is designed to handle an enterprise environment rather than a home
environment, and getting it to work for my environment would just be more
