Thanks Nils :)
I ended up installing it from source, so I could follow the formal
documentation, and everything installed and compiled fine from the
bacula-2.4.2.tar.gz file. I used -enable-conio and I'm going to use the
bacula-gui setup.
I have all of the tools built on the server with the tape drive. I ran the
btape test as noted, and everything ran and completed fine.
The one strange thing I got when I tried to run 'tapeinfo' on the device, was
a message INQUIRY FAILD. Is that OK, does that mean the drive is unknown, or is
that a BAD thing?
Next up, confirm bacula-gui is working, then sort out the configs :)
Cheers,
Dagan

Hi Dagan,
the EL5 rpms install quite well under CentOS 5.2.
You need bacula-sd on the machine with the tape drive, bacula-fd on any
machine being backed up and bacula-dir as the main server somewhere
else. I would suggest running both director and storage daemon on the
machine with the tape drive. As you will want to backup your
backupserver as well, you need bacula-fd (file-daemon) on that machine
as well.
I belive bat can run on any X-Server as long as it can connect to the
director.
This presentation will give you some overview:

And - of course - there is always the documentation
http://www.bacula.org/en/?page=documentation
Best regards, Nils
