Hi, Thanks for all the responses, an interesting discussion. Bacularis would probably be a good solution for us except for the security concern. Allowing Apache access to the backup directory would mean all web apps would have access and that doesn't seem like a good idea on a multi-purpose server. We're not big enough to need, or afford, a dedicated backup server.
Does anyone have a suggestion? I understand that many people think the command line is best, but we have limited skills and the GUI helps with that.

My experience with BAT over the many years I have been using Bacula has been... let's just say "poor", with BAT randomly just hanging for no apparent reason, requiring me to kill and restart it so often I just gave up. Of course this is my experience, on several platforms, over several versions in several of my customers' environments. I do everything from the command l ine and avoid Web GUIs at all costs - which does not say anything about the quality nor capabilities of them, just more about my abhorrence to Web GUIs in general. :) Best regards, Bill -- Bill Arlofski w...@protonmail.com _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
