I am also impressed with Bacula. I have been using it for over a year and do backups every night to external USB drives. But I detest the command line interface. If you ctrl-z it and then fg it gets all confused. And there is no interest in fixing that. No command completion, very bizarre navigation, etc. I am puzzled as to why so much time is put into other things but the basic interface is such a PITA. I am often tempted to write a python/curses based CLI but I am afraid to look into the protocol it uses to communicate with the director. -- Tracy R Reed http://ultraviolet.org A: Because we read from top to bottom, left to right Q: Why should I start my reply below the quoted text I haven't been able to install an X console (Gnome Console, gconsole) on the backup server. I'm using a Win XP box and the WX Console (W32 Windows Console) installed to communicate to the server. This seems nice, but like I mentioned in my previous email, a bit tweaky! If you have a windows box, try installing the W32 Console package. It is much better than command line. --Brian -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
