Hi,

during the past, we have used afbackup as for backups in the company I 
work for. This software is a "little" aged nowadays, and we have been 
looking for alternatives; obviously, there's only one: Bacula.

Thx a lot for your work and effort that you have been putting into this 
project.

Unfortunately, Bacula currently lacks the possibilty to backup and 
restore program output/input such as reflected by the current item 12 
on the project list (former item 16) as well as Kern's todo on FIFOs. 
This feature is crucial for our needs: Backing up process output 
instead of files.

The description in "kernstodo" is not unlike the behavior in afbackup. 
There, you can configure "Files" like this:
||| cmd1 ||| cmd2 ### comment
with cmd1 and cmd2 being commands that export/import data to 
backup/restore processes via stdout/stdin. While the syntax is a litle 
crude, it is helpful to provide two commands for the backup/restore 
processes; additionally, it can easily be used for client side file 
lists (\@, \<, \|).

Do you know of anyone working on this item 12? According to Kern's todo 
list, it's rather low prio for him :( Is there anything I can do to 
help in that process?

Thx,
   Bastian
