Woozle says
I'm damned if I can figure out how to get this thing to run. "bat" can't connect to localhost because "bacula-director" won't run; bacula-director won't run because /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf hasn't been set up, which requires jobs to be created. I can't create jobs because I can't get any of the console tools to run (bat, bconsole, etc.) because bacula-director isn't running. Are you supposed to manually enter job information, or what? Where is this explained?
Sophisticated tools with lame interfaces tick me off. There should be a program you run which lets you set things up through a GUI, or at least an interactive process where you don't have to understand the arcane requirements of some application's conf file. (Also the fact that it apparently has its own open-but-unique storage format seems kind of stupid; what is the benefit?) --Woozle 11:09, 24 February 2009 (EST)
