I'm a sysadmin who just recently inherited an all Mac &
Windows environment. We have both servers & clients of both persuasions and
no Linux boxes. Our current backup strategy is a mish-mosh of cron jobs and
external hard drives. Hardly a "solution."
Basically I would like to get the "server-side"
apps (Director & Storage Daemon) running on either Windows or Mac OS X.
There are binaries available for Windows up to 3.0.2 but everything I've read
leads me to shy away from this unsupported implementation.
On the Mac side, bacula.org recommends Fink. Their latest
package is at 2.x. DarwinPorts has a package for 3.0.3, and MacPorts has one
with version 5.0.0.
So, I am very interested in Bacula but am not sure I should continue
to pursue it in this Mac-&-Windows-only environment. Any thoughts or advice
you might have would be helpful and appreciated.
Thanks.
