Note that Bacula is a rather complicated system which is better percieved as being a framework for implementing your own backup solution. So it's not usually set up by tweaking a sample configuration file; instead, you're supposed to read (most of) its documentation up front. 1. http://bacula.org/5.2.x-manuals/en/main/main/Configuring_Director.html#7544 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
