I prefer not to relay on availability of my custom live CD. Instead, I have decided to use any rescue CD such as the first Centos installation CD and then I just need to copy statically compiled bacula-fd from a remote server. Sometimes when there is a virtual server that need to be restored one might not be able to upload customized rescue image. That's why I prefer commonly used installation CD images with rescue support. -- Josip Deanovic ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
