I was wondering... would be nice to have a maildir backup
plugin, where
one could backup a maildir and have its contents indexed and
restorable
by sender, subject, date, attachments, etc.. I could try to
write one
myself, but wouldn't have the required skills and time. Has
anyone ever
though about this? Is it doable?
It is a good idea. It should be easy. The problem is, who
wants to use it?
Good question, at least me. Not that I ever needed anyway, but seems
cool and rather useful in an event. :)
Not to mention a mysql plugin, where one could restore
specific
database, table, row, on a live system....
Well, a mysql plugin for hot backup should be available soon
:)
Is there an ETA?
But a problem is it will backup a whole mysql instance, not
a specific database, table or row. The main problem with
restoring database objects on a live system is database data
integrity. You can't restore a particular row without checking
table or column constraints, triggers or else.
Sure.
I think those are the features lacking on bacula to put it
side-by-side
with commercial products. Pls, no flames! Bacula is great, I
love it,
and would not change it for a commercial one even if they were
free, I
am just making a feature request and brain storming. That
could even
pave the path for Exchange, MS-SQL, Firebird, Oracle, etc...
A plugin for backup of Exchange is available for some time.
Plugin for Oracle is on newest project TODO list.
But to compete with other commercial products, Bacula should
have a strong commercial support and development, so not all
new feature will be available on community version, only on
enterprise one - check Kerns email on bacula-devel a few weeks
ago.
Thanks God I don't care about exchange. But I do about MS-SQL. Any
plans for that? Currently I use community version, but with a MS-SQL
plugin it could change.
