Thank you. This is what we need. We work with many web hosting firms and we no input on the activities of the end users. They can add/delete files whenever they want. So we would not want to restore a file that should be deleted. Now to see how well the BMR approach works. BMR works well on our current setup - nearly point and click, but we rarely use it and need more flexibility and lower licensing costs. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "bareos-users" group.
