If I may, look for a client with Windows VSS support. You backup the entire MS Exchange DB and Log file without having to run a MSBackup. The only issue will be the Exchange Log files which can be overcome using circular logging in Exchange.

I have tested it and it works.

Hi Roger,

I have a system running CentOS 5.1 and a windows 2003 server VM in VMware... I am looking for a way to backup MS exchange using Bacula. It might be a case of running MSBackup to a smb share on the Linux server and then backup the backup file to a tape. However I did read some where that bacula will work with exchange.

I will most likely need the newest windows client, will I also need the newest version of bacula on the server for it to work?  Or will the new client work with the old server?


Thanks
Keith

Keith,

I've done it quite are few times on Fedora and CentOS 5. What do you want to know? You can install bacula with yum if you want but you need to use the Extras respositories.
But sadly you can only get version 2.0.3-10.el5 of bacula there.

CentOS/RHEL Extras repository info - http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/FAQ#howtouse

# rpm -Uvh http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-2.noarch.rpm

# yum search bacula

Hi Guys,

I know there are RPM's for Bacula, however are there any guides for
installing on Centos / RHEL using the RPMs?
