Every single day, I drive my Citroen C5. I turn it on by slightly moving the key with a circular movement, than simply move (a single move) the "gear" (automatic, BTW) and then.... gas (and brakes). Nothing else. Am I satisfied? Yes. Am I happy whis this? Yes. A couple of years ago I got _REALLY_LUCKY_, when I was invited to Imola racing circuit, to drive <http://dvblog.soabit.com/images/damiano_imola_ferrari458.jpg> a Ferrari 458 <https://www.google.com/search?safe=off&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1305&bih=1020&q=Ferrari+458&oq=Ferrari+458&gs_l=img.3..35i39k1j0l9.3280.4565.0.5291.13.13.0.0.0.0.127.902.6j4.10.0....0...1.1.64.img..3.10.898.0..0i10k1.iBGig9tB8ek> . Still a car. That's for sure. But it was not much similar to my C5. I needed _ONE_ whole preliminary lap, the very first one, sitting aside the "professional driver", to let him explain me several things, including "*how to turn the engine on/off*", "*how to properly scale gears upword/downword*", "*how to handle brakes and accelerator*", "*how to properly handle the steer*", etc. etc. I was REALLY IMPRESSED by details that you need to take care, when driving a racing car. Still a "car". Only a "racing" one :-) Ok. You got the idea. *BareOS is a "racing Ferrari". Is not simply a "car". * Back to your comment, I suggest you viewing it from a different angle. You say: I have read that Bacula/Bareos is difficult to configure for people with a > lack of experience or background > IMHO, you should focus on "*people with a lack of experience of background*", and not on the "*difficult to configure*". Should you have asked me 15 years ago something like: "*I need a backup infrastructure! Can you help me?*" I would have replyed promptly with a (working) solution. Thinking to such a solution nowaday, let me laugh due to the missing details that I would "push" to my proposed solution. Backup infrastructure (expecially the enterprise-ones) are really complex and IMHO people, expecially technical people, tend to oversimplify or even miss LOTS of details.

I only add that BareOS documention is really detailed and "impressive" as of general quality, with respect to other F/OSS products. Nevertheless... reading the documention requires LOTS of time. And even I.... have still to spend time... reading it. IMHO there are NO mid-way: you work _HARD_ in understanding the whole figure (that is really complex) or... simply pay for someone else (swapping your money with your time). And don't forget: BareOS is a "racing Ferrari". Is not a "car". HTH. Bye, DV -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "bareos-users" group.
