hmm. I thought he was talking about the database that bacula used, not backing up other databases. my gut reaction was ... I suppose you could write such an interface, but why? If someone insists on a commercial database, why would they not insist on a commercial backup solution? Or, alternatively, if someone was willing to accept an open source backup solution, then what's the big deal about doing a simple install of mysql? Seems like the audience for bacula using DB2 would be miniscule. just my 2 cents --------------- Chris Hoogendyk - O__ ---- Systems Administrator c/ /'_ --- Biology & Geology Departments (*) \(*) -- 140 Morrill Science Center ~~~~~~~~~~ - University of Massachusetts, Amherst <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --------------- Erdös 4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
