I'm currently using a hodgepodge of Acronis and DejaDup backup versions,
plus Aomei at the church (which is too cheap to pay for anything).
They're being backed up to NAS machines locally on each network. I'd
like to have a single, unified backup solution, and I prefer open source
software when possible. I've been subscribed to the Bacula-users group
for a while, but if there has been any information or tutorials for new
users referred to I've missed them.
Would someone be willing to point me in the right direction?Eric.
First off - read the documentation.
All of it. Twice. And again, for good luck. :-)
Like most FLOSS they're probably not up to date, but so much is
explained in them that it makes life easier in the long run.
Then, when you have questions, ask them here.
I was lucky enough to be able to set up Bacula in a test environment
when I started using it, so I could break things willy-nilly and it
would not cause problems. (This is still my preferred way of learning a
new system, why change something that has worked for nigh on four
decades! ;-) )
Cheers,
