im in the process of migrating from veritas netbackup to bacula (im working on my new setup this weekend actually). i will say, one of the things i do like about netbackup is, that you ;ay out your backup scheme by creating different "policies". each policy defines time windows the job is allowed to run, what volumes to backup (if they exist), what storage device the job will backup to, and what types of jobs will run following this policy (full, cumulative, monthly, yearly, etc). one the policy is defined, then clients are associated to it, and each client gets a seperate job run, following the definitions laid out in the policy. i was on backup exec for years until last year when we upgraded to netbackup at work, and this policy based format is far superior to backup exec's "one giant all encompasing job" method. netbackup also can run multiple clients simultaneously. getting back OT... can bacula run multiple clients simultaneously? and, so far ive not read that it cant be done, but one of my clients is a linux running on ppc... the straw thats breaking the camels back for me and netbackup is that i cant backup my linux-ppc box (and im assuming that bacula will be able to). cheers, jonathan ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
