Well, I'm using bacula with the following config: a) 1 Windows client (only some data to backup); b) 1 FreeBSD client/storage (I just backup /etc, /usr/local/etc, ... and it holds daily backup on a disk); c) 1 FreeBSD client/storage (main big chunk of data to save and tape drive used monthly for full backups). Initially it was not that easy to setup, but I must admin it's working very well now. I haven't by now even considered the bare metal restore option. bye av.
