[...] Maybe Unix Admin didn't notice that I commented on `bacula' in my original post... but my experience with it was pretty old... probably at least 2 yrs ago. Jan explains below... his current experience. So can you tell me if you've had recent experience with it and can vouch for the usability of the windows clients (the part installed on windows machines)?

I think I will, but suspect I may have a bit more trouble with it than you have. Sounds as if some of the bugs in the windows client side have been ironed out. _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
