All server (9 to be precise) were in a total mess (no software update, no
hardware update and an incredible mess with AD and so)
There's no administrator inside. And the last backup date from June 2007.
Arcserve is the 9.0 version without patches (but after applying SP1 and SP2)
the trouble is the same.
Jobs crash ( it write some data local or from agent ) The server was setted to
restart a job crash and last night is gently run
over space on the disk backup (500Go). I've disable the restart job after crash.

Yes afterall, bacula is bacula : just solid as a rock !
I think that would be my only temporary solution to have some backups running
before migration and transfer.

I've seen some interesting advise on the wiki, about VSS snapshots ... They
would do the job for the Exchange.
Navision seem to export correctly it's backup ...
The two others I don't know and I suspect customer doesn't know too :-))

Ok that's could be a another possibility. With the vmware you could also write
directly on disk if you enable local share.

As I'm a fervent bacula "apôtre" and if they want their data to be safe, I
couldn't imagine an other way ;-)
Sure they would converted.
So going to sleep some hours. I'll keep the list inform about the result.
