Hi,

to support RH.
Nice to hear. Although it's quite some time that I last saw Netware in
production.
...
Our support period with Veritas has expired, and I got no solutions to this
problem by googling, so we decided to try Bacula.
Seems reasonable to me...
The bad news is that I am rather new to Linux. I have learned a great deal in
the last year or so, but I have a lot more to learn before I hang out my
shingle.
The good news is that Bacula is now backing up those directories and I
understand a good deal more about Bacula than I did at first. As I said in
another post, much of my floundering around has been due to the differences in
concepts and philosiphies between Bacula and BE. I supported ArcServe for a
while a few years ago * an experience I would like to forget * and I installed
Arkeia on this SuSE box before trying Bacula.
Nice selection of backup tools... I remember a discussion in some forum
about what was more unstable - Veritas or Networker. I don't know
Arcserve, but I did try Arkeia not long ago, and I read the arkeia user
mailing list. Arkeia is, in my opinion, unusable.
No wonder I'm stuck with bacula, I think.
So far, so good. Today we are working on getting wxWidgets working so we can
have a graphical front end. I am (so far) happy with bconsole, but my boss
wants a gui so that if I bite the big one, someone else can quickly take over
managing backups.
Actually, I don't know if wxconsole is what your boss likes... basically
a bconsole on a GUI desktop. I never understood the restore feature, I'm
afraid :-(
Tks n rgds,

CNE... could have noticed that before - sure you know about Netware on
linux, then.
