I did not know that existed. But there are a couple of things wrong with
apt-get install bacula. The choices are confusing and the hit and miss
approach leaves a broken install. apt-get install selects some odd
places to put bacula config files. I could not find any control files,
eg bacula-ctl-dir, on the system. I could not get postgresql to switch
modes to sql_ascii from utf8. I don't know what a "postgresql server
dev" package installs other than to satisfy the libpq need. What a
headache to save typing a few commands and compile the thing.

Besides a native compile is always good, eh? It is clean and simple and
you control what functionality to compile in. It also gives one some
practice skills for when the time cometh and we go looking for the usr
local etc directory to run the upgrade commands.

The way package dependencies are handled in Ubuntu can be bit confusing at times.

I have Bacula installed in 10.10 and I find all the configuration files in "/etc/bacula". You can find state files in "/var/lib/bacula" and log in "/var/lob/bacula".

I am using MySQL though.
