hey ya, fellow sysadmins.
i started playing around with the open-source network backup software bacula on a sun fire v240 and a sun storedge lto 2v tape drive, which is actually a hp ultrium 448 drive rebranded by sun. i haven’t seen the application in action yet, because i’m currently lost in configuration. 
what really stunnes me is the huge amount of well-written documentation - quite unusual for open-source products. huge kudos to the bacula-crew for that!
i’ll keep you updated if the app itself turns out to be as good as its documentation.

dan, thanks for your offer. nice to see that bacula-supporters are also active in the blogosphere.
i will update this blog when i’ve got bacula running.
Hello,
I have written a little detailed instruction on how to get bacula started with debian. This should help you out. The only thing you need to do is setup passwords. You can check out the manual howto here.
