For those of us who have been using networker for years and are
evaluating other solutions (bacula in particular in my case as well),
this is exactly the right place unless the list maintainer says
otherwise. Going to the lists and forums belonging to the
product/solution being evaluated will speak to the strengths and
weaknesses of the solution in general, but this is probably the best
source of information in terms of a comparison to networker with a
possible migration path in mind.
