I understand that and it totally makes sense to me. I hope that Debian jessie will include GlusterFS packages then I suppose it will be possible for Bareos to include support for GlusterFS in their Debian packages. > However, this does not necesarily mean it would not work with Debian, it is > possible to download the Bareos source code from github and compile it > yourself > on Debian with gluster storage backend enabled. > Configure will even find out what backends it can build given the packages you > have installed so there is no need to enable something specific.

That's interesting, so you mean I could use the Bareos Debian packages and then simply compile the Gluster storage plugin from Bareos and I am ready to go? If yes how do I compile and install only the Gluster storage plugin from Bareos? On github (https://github.com/bareos) I did not see a separate repository for this plugin. About being so impatient, in my opinion including GlusterFS support to a backup software such as Bareos is a killer and anyone should see that as exciting ;) I was happy with Bacula but for me having Gluster support is THE reason to change to Bareos.
