It is a powerful and reliable solution. Not less than one week ago, I migrated a DDS tape made in 2005 which has been transcoded to FileStorage media in 2010 (was with bacula) to its new location on Bareos and I can still read and restore what was stored on it. Yes it is a very highly configurable high end software, that can easily confuse new comers. You need to invest on reading, understanding, configuring, adapting the documentation to your environment. It can take up to 2-3 months with the try & error methodology. You can also create a budget to pay support from Bareos or its partners to help you making it right the first time.... Especially if you're thinking of using it professionally. ;-) -- Bruno Friedmann Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch openSUSE Member & Board, fsfe fellowship GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "bareos-users" group.
