Cool site. I was a Veritas Netbackup administrator for 3 years until
my two most recent employers use mostly open source and had small
budgets, so commercial was avoided where necessary. I picked Bacula
over Amanda due to the fact it's more like Netbackup, seems more
scalable, etc. I actually switched one employer from Amanda to Bacula.
It was easier for the non-backup administrators to understand over
Amanda and it was more suitable for their environment.
