20 No problem Steve! I've read through the Bacula docs the last day or so, and
21 am about to install it on a system with a single tape drive that's already
22 running Arkeia. Want to get a feel for it before installing it on my dual
23 AIT drive library. Bacula would work with the drives as you want. It
24 supports to file backups! With as much as Bacula can do, I'm wondering why
25 it's not a very popular program?? It looks to have all the same features as
26 Arkeia, or Bru Pro - both of which I've used in the past.
