Re: Bacula vs. amanda?

Hi Jonathan,
i used Bacula before i came to Amanda. Bacula is really nice - easy to
setup, good documentation and so on. It saves information about
files/dumpdates and so on in a mysql database which (in my case) turned
out to be a bad idea. My datasets are huge, consisting of millions of
xml-snippets. So mysql had lots of work to do and grew enormously to
over 6 GB. Doing a single-file restore works fine, but once i had to do
a complete system-recovery: The restore-interface consulted mysql and it
took more than one week, before i interrupted it and did a (not much
faster) direct restore from tape. After all it took me 14 days to
restore the system.
And that's why i switched to Amanda ;-)
