You might check out Amanda......Yes, i agree with you in that some sense Bacula lacks features that make it "usable" for people like a GUI, although BAT is not too bad.    If you are resourceful, you can script backups using tar...like they did in the "old" days.  In this case you do not need bacula and you can manage everything in terms of a schedule using cron.  

What kind of system are you running?  Using Tapes?  Disk?  I have had pretty good luck with Bacula over the years, but I can definitely see where people can get frustrated.

Hi,

Is there any other good software than Bacula?  I've just totally had it with Bacula. There is no support and every system I've setup crashes because it will not purge/prune or recycle the pool. It just fills up and crashes. I have everything set to 30 days and have plenty of space for 3 months so every 3 Months one of my system just crashes and stops backing up the others do the exact same thing after the hard drive fills.

I just don't get it. I've run many different backup softwares (Microsoft) before never in my life had such and nightmare of an issue. I must be plain stupid or brain dead because I've never been so upset at a piece of software in my life like I have have been with Bacula!  Support? oh that's a joke they don't even have a forum.

I'm just so totally over this.  Can someone point me in a direction? My servers are CentOS boxes.

Thanks,
