So, after a mostly-unsuccessful[1] experiment with Acronis TrueImage,
I've decided to revisit backing up the four Windows 7/64 machines on my
network using Bacula. However, I understand there is significant
complexity in correctly handling mount points in the Windows Vista/7
family. Also, since the OS files on the four should be more similar
than anything else on ,my network, I think they'd probably be a good
test case for base jobs.
So: Does anyone who has Bacula working on 64-bit Windows 7 (three Win7
Home, one Win7 Pro, if that makes a difference) have a working-example
fileset and configuration for Windows 7 clients? Anything else I need
to know about Windows 7 64-bit and Bacula?
All tips appreciated.
[1] Image backup mode worked well, but file-level was so slow as to be
unusable (two hours into file-level backup of a machine with 320GB of
mirrored SATA2 disk, on which an image backup completes in maybe 30
minutes, it was estimating five and a half days to complete). Two of
the four test clients immediately configured to use the desired NAS
backup share on the first try; the remaining two, I had to fight with
for an hour on that point alone.
