Hi Bastian,
thanks a lot for your answers.
After reading the Zarafa documentation we also (at least we plan)
to use your described procedure with having brick level backups and
then backup that results with Bacula. And maybe once or twice a month
a "mysqldump-backup" of the database.
Just a short question: what would be "frequent incremental backups"
as you mentioned at 1) ?
thanks a lot,
christian
