I'm trying to configure the tape alert (Alert Command) for my DLT drive under

Has anyone used Bacula with Buffalo TeraStation?
Is there any way to load the storage daemon onto the TeraStation, or
would I have to mount the TeraStation disks onto another box and run
the storage daemon from there?
Thank You

Substitute DeviceName for the name the OS gives the drive.
On a Windows box you'll find it here:
Computer Manager Device Manager Tape Drives [your branded
model] Properties Tape Symbolic Name (this is where you'll find
what the OS calls it)
and TapeInfo will work just fine for you.
Hello,
Does anyone have any experience backing up outlook, outlookExpress
or thunderbird files with bacula VSS?
Does those applications support VSS?
Whenever o search for outlook vss only exchange related results
are returned :(

Hello,
You will surely get better help by asking on the bacula-users list.
However, what I do note is that you are attempting to configure three
databases, and Bacula works with only one of those three.
If you want to use SQLite3 then I believe that you need to say something like:

Dear All
I have started using version 2.0.0 and all is going very well to date -
thanks to the developers.
I have hit one problem in that a Windows client's Incremental backup was
as large as its Full backup - it was not changed from Incremental to Full
due to no Full backup in the catalog.
