Re: [Bacula-users] newbie question

Mark,
No sense of entitlement here. I like to run things and then figure
them out. If there is nothing available then I'll
pick through the docs until I get it, eventually. As for lecturing
me about what a web hosting company is supposed
to do, save your breath, been hosting a long time and never put
anything into production that is not fully tested,
understood, and tweaked!
PS - Most software that I test has a full run-through in the quick
start, including a list of critical items which may
need to be tweaked so that the main challenge becomes compilation
and then integration. Software that challenges
on initial configuration should be questioned (yes, question the
software) for its sense of "entitlement"! And please don't
say because it is free or open source that it should be that way, I
have been building Apache since it had no run through
and well know the difference, I prefer open source to every thing
else I have encountered out there, especially on the
server side!
Be well,
Randy

If you care to help here is
a reply to a
guy that gave me an off-list reply of sorts, as of yet I have
not
received what he spoke about
which might prove to be partially helpful
Randy, you're sort of coming across as though you feel a
sense of entitlement, "I built Bacula from source but I don't
feel like reading documentation or putting the slightest bit
of effort into this, so someone give me a cookie-cutter
setup". That may well just be due to the nature of email as a
communications medium, so don't take offense to that unless
that's really how you mean it.
Backups are probably not the best item to take shortcuts
with (especially at a hosting company!), and you can spend one
afternoon with the excellent documentation and have all the
understanding you need to get Bacula up and running in your
environment, in a way that suits your needs. Can you make
some time for the documentation? You'll be far better
protected than if you just throw in some configurations that
you don't understand and start running it. I guarantee the
list it helpful when you show up and ask an informed question
that shows you've done at least a bit of homework.
